For reasons I don't know or remember, we have caller ID blocking on our in-house phone line, but I don't have it on my garage office line. I had considered doing something about that every time I had someone tell me they didn't answer my call because my caller ID didn't show up, which, frankly, I think is kind of silly behavior.

This morning I learned that, at least in my town, you can't get through to 911 with caller ID blocked. That strikes me as unsound as well, but it has prompted me to call the phone company.
