A Chicken-fat Reader Caught!





Sometimes I come across a reader of chicken-fat.com that I was unaware of.

It happened today.  I went to the Marietta Museum of History to see  a panel of educators talk about Cobb Education.   While mulling around before it started a lady came up to me , looked me in the eyes and said, "Are you Eddie Hunter?"

I felt kind of like a pawn broker, car salesman,  or a junk man when he first meets somebody... size them up to make sure they are not dangerous and if they do, look for a quick escape route.

In my case, I  quickly judge that the folding chairs were too high to leap over but there was an aisle between the folding chair, that I could quickly run down and out the door .

She looked harmless and polite.  I took a chance.  I said I was  and was ready to duck or spring.

She politely told me she reads my blog chicken-fat.com.  and she has been reading it since she read an article about me in the Marietta Journal.  Ahah!  She read the Laura Armstrong article.  I asked her what her name was and she said her name was Laura.  Wait!  I am getting confused, too many Lauras.

She even told me some of my compulsions such as the band  TUBA SKINNY.   I thought to myself, she is not faking it, she really reads chicken-fat. 

I asked her if I could take her picture and she was reluctant.   I will not publish it because I don't think she really wanted her picture taken, so I will respect her wishes 

It does my ego good to run into somebody that actually reads my hysterically  paranoid nonsense.
