Dear LFTP: the 911 dispatcher letter

• What should callers do when calling 911?

A 911 dispatcher writes in with tips: know your location and mile marker (cell phones can't be traced like landlines), don't let kids play with deactivated phones, and tell the dispatcher if you dialed by accident. Discussion wanders into a cow standoff on a Missouri road (a host inching his truck bumper-to-cow for an hour), a host misreporting a cow's road in Atlantic, Iowa, and the 'abide in me so you know where the cheese is' McDonald's callback.
