There are times when I am struck, well silent. Such a situation happened when observant reader Bob Ramsak, one of the key voices of global track & field, as he writes daily on the IAAF.org site, sent me this wonderfully photographed toilet seat cover. I did ask Bob for his permission to run the photo and have waited until after the race has started in China. Again, I would really appreciate these types of signage in the restrooms in North America. Leaving such protocols to local interpretation can be, well dangerous.

Of course, I did add a few related articles. Read at your discretion.
