10202010

Someone walked up to me today and handed me a box of fried chicken and a bag of bananas. I think maybe they thought I was somebody else. Too weird. There were other people around and they didn't seem concerned about it - just plowed into it when I put it on the table next to me. 



There's these places in hotel banquet rooms, airport offices, conference rooms in various buildings etc where people just generally graze. Its too weird. I wouldn't have sought it out on purpose. I've worked places where people just walk up to you and tell you "eat this". Today there was also cake somebody made where I happened to be hanging out. Amazing.

I have this idea about an experiment. What if I only ate things that someone gave me? Its not a cheapness issue. I've struggled most of my adult life with extra padding. What if I just never bought anymore food? I think the rules would have to include not soliciting the food. I wonder how I would fare?  If you are walking down the street and you see an apple tree with a branch dangling one choice specimen over the sidewalk (public right of way)is that ok?

I'd have to exclude the green fairy of course. That's not food.

I think I need to just keep putting one foot in front of the other while I figure some things out...
