Editor's note: "Dispatches" are occasional snapshots of people, places, scenes or moments from around Georgia that our reporters come across. They aim to be immersive and aren't always tied to a news event. MACON - A red-lettered sign near the front door of Cox Cafe warns, "Compact Cars Only." But there is no such parking. The space is blocked by a stone planter. Besides, there are few such autos in this part of town.

The phone was stashed in the closet of a back room in what amounted to a lost-and-found locker at a remote U.S. military outpost in the Jordanian desert. Staff Sgt. Zachary Winthers of the Illinois Army National Guard had been stationed since last summer at a base known as Tower 22.
