KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) ''Attention, Olympic snow!'' Now that's an eye-catching sign.
Sochi Games organizers planted this one beside an absolutely immaculate patch of snow, groomed like a Japanese garden, next to the ski jump venue. Olympic snow, clearly a posh relation to the white stuff you and I are familiar with, cannot be walked on with dirty shoes, the sign instructs. And ''if you need to do a job near or on the snow surface area - please, clean up thoroughly after yourself!''
The sign concludes with this gem:
''Please, remember, this is our Olympic Snow. It is a treasure for us all, please, take good care of it!''
Which, of course, made me just want to lie down on the pampered stuff, do a giant starfish and scribble ''John Woz Here'' on it with a big stick.
But being a good boy ... Click. Tweet. (hash)Sochiproblems, this one's for you.
