Hell yes, I`m going to go up and talk to him.

　　President Carter still has a bunch of secret service people around him, but other than that, he seems completely free. And I`m just anonymous enough as a loser that, if I humiliate myself, nobody will ever know but me. That is, unless Carter`s keen eye remembers my beauty mark really well. I`ll have to cover my face with my hand the whole time.

　　So I go up to him, or at least as close as I can get before the bodyguards stop me, and say, "Hey, Mr. Carter, er, President Carter!"

　　He makes a little movement as he notices that someone called out to him, and looks up from his map to meet my eyes. He smiles, and then takes a few steps up close to me, though there`s still a layer of bodyguards between us.

　　"Why, hello there, young, uh--" He continues looking at me with curious levels of focus. "Well, hello, it`s a pleasure to meet you."

　　(I`m talking to Jimmy Carter.)

　　(Wow.)

　　(His accent is so old fashioned!)The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

　　And now is the moment when I completely freeze up and become unable to talk any further in any coherent way. "I, uh, well, sir, I, uh, I really liked the way you handled the oil crises, and... also the Israel-Palestine thing. It was cool, Mr. President, sir."

　　He chuckles. "Oh, kid. Don`t be so formal. Call me Jimmy. I`m retired, you know."

　　"But you`re..."

　　He breaks past the bodyguards and pats me on the shoulder. "I ain`t anything special. Just an old fogey looking for some more solar panels for my farm. Haven`t the slightest clue where to go, though. Any help would be real hot."

　　"Oh, uh..." I quickly pull out my own map and quickly scan through it for anything that sounds kinda like a solar company`s exhibit. Aha, "Energy Biz" and "Clean Town" right next to each other that`s gotta be it. I look up at Mr. Carter and say, "It`s over in the west wing, where all the startups and smaller companies are. There`s a lot of energy companies next to each other. Of course, it`s all, uh thanks to you that they exist, since you started the Department of Energy..."

　　"The west wing, huh?" He chuckles to himself. "Been a long time since I`ve been in that one." He starts to step away, then turns back to me. "Hey, thanks a lot kid."

　　"You`re, uh, welcome."

　　"Y`all young ones are the brightest future I`ve ever seen. Helping an old man out..." He continues mumbling more stuff but I can`t make it out since he`s walking away.

　　I just met President Jimmy Carter. Who`s here looking for a deal on some newfangled solar panels. And I gave him directions.

　　I`m going to die of happiness unless I can distract myself by doing something a lot more boring, real quick.
