Feral Love

♠
It's seven-fifteen; the day has begun to lighten; I get up from the computer to feed the cats.

I see Salty lying down by the shed door, as though he has just come out to keep an eye out for breakfast. I open the sliding-door and stick my head out as if I'm still looking for the cats. Salty sees me and starts running to the patio.

I suppose that this is the closest I'll get to love from these cats. It's more than enough for me.

Wary U.S. athletes bringing own food to China Olympics

One example:

When a caterer working for the United States Olympic Committee went to a supermarket in China last year, he encountered a piece of chicken — half of a breast — that measured 14 inches. “Enough to feed a family of eight,” said Frank Puleo, a caterer from Staten Island who has traveled to China to handle food-related issues.

“We had it tested and it was so full of steroids that we never could have given it to athletes. They all would have tested positive.”
