PART : 003 — DIG DEEPER

likes : early  morning  /  late  night  swims,  antique  markets,  buying  gifts  to  show  their  appreciation,  sci  -  fi  movies,  watching  old  people  play  chess  at  the  park,  cookies  and  cream  ice  cream,  that  specific  sound  quality  you  can  only  hear  when  listening  to  a  record,  roller  coasters, superstitious people dislikes : people  who  approach  them  when  she's  clearly  in  the  middle  of  something,  having  to  change  their  clocks  when  the  time  change  happens,  eating  crawfish,  driving,  finding  holes  in  their  clothes

PART : 004 — QUICK FACTS

nothing  in  collette's  background  brings  up  anything  unusual.  they  grew  up  in  a  small  seaside  town  to  devoted  parents,  that  of  whom  loved  collette  to  the  fullest  and  did  nothing  short  of  encourage  her  to  pursue  her  dreams

both  of  them  were  academics  in  their  own  right,  with  her  mother  being  a  tenured  professor  at  brown  university,  and  their  father,  the  local  high  school's  biology  teacher

eventually  moving  through  the  public  school  system,  collette  wasn't  really  one  to  excel  in  the  classroom.  their  grades  were  passing,  at  best,  and  nothing  truly  sparked  their  passion  like  fields  that  seemed  all  -  encompassing

the  water  is  integral  to  their  livelihood,  having  been  raised  in  a  small,  cottage  -  style  home  just  blocks  away  from  the  shoreline,  and  having  devoted  most  of  their  extracurricular  hours  to  swim  team,  and  during  the  off  -  seasons,  working  part  time  as  a  lifeguard  and  also  a  busser  at  a  restaurant  near  the  docks

it  was  there  they  learned  about  who  would  then  become  their  fishing  mentor,  having  been  promoted  to  a  shipping  receiving  position  at  the  restaurant  and  interacting  with  various  vendors  and  other  fishermen

officially  becoming  an  apprentice  fisherman  from  ages  18  to  20,  they  worked  as  a  market  vendor  in  rhode  island  up  until  recently

years  went  by  and  their  small  town  quickly  grew  stale.  they  were  tired  of  how  meddlesome  everyone  could  get  -  hearing  town  gossipers  anywhere  from  the  church  pews  to  the  grocery  store  aisles.  with  the  encouragement  of  her  parents  and  other  family  members,  especially  their  cousin  who  has  lived  here,  they  decided  that  their  new  venture,  somewhere  they  could  remain  pursuing  their  current  occupation,  was  red  creek

IN REDCREEK ...

keep  your  head  down  and  ears  open  -  there  is  a  lot  of  chatter  that  goes  around  the  fish  market.  with  most  of  them  being  folks  who  work  on  their  own  schedules,  there  are  eyes  and  ears  everywhere  in  red  creek  whose  presence  also  looms  around  the  market's  corridors.  cole  isn't  one  to  outright  state  their  intentions  or  impose  anything,  unless  said  thing  is  a  direct  threat  to  them  in  the  moment.  they  tend  to  reserve  more  hard  -  hitting  questions  for  those  they  find  comfort  in

they  are  usually  seen  around  the  lake  during  early  hours,  either  right  before  or  immediately  after  sunrise,  hoping  to  get  a  last  catch  in  before  helping  set  up  shop  at  their  market  stand.  during  weekends,  weather  permitting,  she  tends  to  drive  up  to  lake  michigan  as  a  getaway  fishing  trip,  usually  staying  at  a  cheap  motel  or  airbnb

much  of  cole's  leisure  time  is  spent  alone  —  either  catching  a  flick  at  the  theater  or  a  meal  at  the  diner  by  themselves  —  they  aren't  reclusive  on  purpose.  it's  just  that  their  job  requires  her  to  constantly  interact  with  other  people,  something  so  draining  for  this  poor  introvert

she  tends  to  be  kind  of  spiritual,  something  drilled  into  her  by  new  england  protestant  parents.  they  don't  attend  regular  mass,  only  really  seeking  out  god  when  they're  going  through  something  or  bored  and  need  someone  to  talk  to

PART : 005 — POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS

npcs

a  relative newbie  in  town,  they  are  unaware  of  a  lot  of  the  town's  history,  only  ever  hearing  about  it  from  callbacks  to  the  '99  murders  as  news  updates  play  on  the  radios owned by other market vendors

daniela  estrada  —  a  highly  infrequent  patron.  long  and  irregular  hours  at  the  hospital  meant  that  she  could  rarely  shop  when  the  market  was  open.  they  would  see  her  sometimes,  weekends  mostly,  usually  with  friends  or  family.  she  was  unaware  of  her  disappearance,  as  collette  didn't  know  her  name.  though,  finally  seeing  the  missing  person's  poster  was  a  big  shock

wanted connections

Later, at the Minami house, Fisherman Minami closed his eyes and took a deep breath before saying anything. Carefully, he bowed his head and apologized to his wife. “Tanira san, I am deeply ashamed of my behavior towards you this day. I can only say that I am used to being the one taking in catch from the other boats and was upset at seeing you and those girls from over at the Shop of Repairs doing it. You do know that they are spies for the evil ones in that shop, do you not?”

Tanira nodded a bow thoughtfully as she replied, “Minami san, I will accept your apology. That you were very upset at the turns of events lately is obvious. I did also expect you to say that last.

“If Minara and Takahara are spies, still, we owe them much. I took the Fish Market as a complete settlement for the golden cash that you stole from my dower rights. Looking at its books, I made a very bad deal. Without the help of those girls, I would not have earned enough to pay for the fish that we got today.

“Even if I tried your criminal trick of only paying for fish after it is sold, the Market's earnings would have been only a few of copper cash. With their alert and pleasant attitudes, they drew in many customers that would have passed us by. Because of them, we earned two of silver cash and three strings sixteen of copper cash after all costs including buying the fish at dockside.”

Slipping a bit from courtesy, Minami snapped, “And then you went to dine with those evil ones!”

“Minami san! After a long day of hard work, Ichuru san and I were invited to share a free dinner in pleasant company!

“On the dock you crowded to the head of the queue in front of those there first! You rudely called me 'woman!' and demanded over three times the value of your catch in front of all the fishermen! You were so completely rude that your own crew threw you into the water for some peace so that they could settle the value of the catch.

“You left such a sour ending to an otherwise excellent day that when Ichuru san and I were offered a pleasant meal in happy surroundings, YES, we took it at once!

“When we came out to come home, you ruined even that! If you are what is good and they are evil, I will take the evil at once!”

Her shoulders slumped and she began to weep. “I am sorry, Minami san. This conversation has gone badly. I wish that you could see why.

“Would you like me to fix you some dinner?”

Minami paused, taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. He noticed Ichuru quietly playing with his toy boat on the tatami mats of the floor and his face softened. “Yes, Tanira san, I would appreciate that.”

Taking the small victory of her husband's being courteous with her, she went to the kitchen and began to cook.

For a wonder, it was a quiet meal and when it was done, Minami helped her to clean up.

The next morning both Minami and Ichuru were absent, so she had a quiet breakfast and went to open the Fish Market. Both Minara and Takahara were waiting for her. They had not been idle. All of the sun shades were up and in their proper places. The little ice that had survived the night was waiting.

Takahara bowed politely in greeting and said sadly, “Poor Patsu san was right. There is a lock on the ice house door and a note saying that the key will cost you a cash of silver.”

Concern in face and voice, she asked, “Poor Patsu? What has happened?”

Both Minara and Takahara shook their heads in sorrow. “It was last night sometime, after the tide started to rise. One of Sabo's regular fishing boats, the Chrysanthemum of the Sea tried to fish in the waters near to Dry Island after dark. There is a strong tidal bore that comes out from between Dry Island and the Rocky Eyot. The sudden current caught them and pushed the boat onto some rocks sideways.

“It rolled over and three of the seven men on her drowned. Patsu came out to our dock first thing in the morning and found two of the bodies. In spite of being broken up, she saw the survivors on that dangerous rock beach on Dry Island. She took a small boat and some floats out.

“Not even our boats are safe near that beach. She let the floats out on a long line for them. She pulled all four of them to safety at our dock. On the way in, she found the last of the drowned men. She was really upset by that.

“The ones that she saved went and got a Constable to complain that she should have come for them in a bigger boat that they could ride in, instead of being towed in on floats.

“She had to explain that a bigger boat could not have got close enough to get the floats to them and then snapped that since they were that ungrateful for being saved, she was going to charge them for her work, equipment and time in the rescue.”

Both girls started to giggle. “She did too. Went straight to the Tribunal and filed her claim, pointing out in the bill that if they had not been ingrates and complained to a Constable, she would have charged them nothing.”

Nodding at the ending, and smiling some, Tanira pointed to their cart with the ice chest. “Takahara san, if you would, they told me yesterday that they would see me cared for with ice. Could you please go and get us some?”

Takahara took up the pull bar and trotted over to the Sabo's Better Fish Market. The women there laughed at the idea of Minami trying to blackmail his wife for the ice that she needed as they filled the cart with sparkling clean ice.

Soon the Fish Market was open. The three of them had loaded their display trays and were busily cutting fillets from fish that were still good but getting a little stale. The filets were going into openwork trays that were being put into the sun to dry for commercial trade to the back country areas, far from the sea. Along with those, they were setting up trays of sea water to evaporate for salt, also valuable in both Sabo and the back country.

Besides this happy industry, they were tending to a surprising number of customers! Word had gone out that Minami no longer ran the Fish Market and it was now busy.

In the midst of this, Minami and Ichuru came up from the dock area. Minami had a sourly triumphant lip curled half grin as he announced, “If you want to use the key to the ice house, you must pay me!” He was holding up the key. “It will only take a silver cash each time that you need it opened!”

Takahara snorted, “Really, Minami! You truly should use your eyes before opening your mouth!”

His eyes took in the trays of sparklingly clear clean ice! He instantly snapped, “Where did you steal this from!? You must have forced or picked my lock!”

Tanira had a grim smile of her own as she pointed to the key still upraised in his hand and nodded. Constable Canra who had come up unnoticed during Minami's outburst, plucked the key from his hand!

The Benefits of Installing a Water Softener in Your Home

If you live in Reading, you may have noticed that your water has a distinct taste or that your appliances seem to be working harder than they should. This could be due to hard water, a common issue in many areas, including Reading. Hard water contains high levels of minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, which can lead to a variety of problems in your home. In this blog post, we’ll explore how hard water affects your plumbing and appliances, the benefits of installing a water softener, and how a plumber in Reading can assist you in making this important upgrade.

How Hard Water Affects Plumbing and Appliances

Hard water contains a high concentration of minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium, which are picked up as water flows through underground rock formations. While hard water isn’t harmful to your health, it can cause a range of issues around your home, including:

Scale Buildup: One of the most significant issues caused by hard water is the buildup of scale in your plumbing system. Over time, the minerals in hard water can accumulate in pipes, faucets, and fixtures, leading to reduced water flow and increased pressure on your plumbing. This can result in costly repairs and replacements.

Appliance Efficiency: Hard water can also affect the efficiency and lifespan of your appliances. Dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters are particularly vulnerable. Scale buildup can cause these appliances to work harder, leading to increased energy consumption and premature failure. For example, a water heater with scale buildup may require more energy to heat water, resulting in higher utility bills.

Soap Scum and Stains: Hard water reacts with soap, creating soap scum that can leave unsightly stains on your dishes, shower doors, and bathroom fixtures. This not only makes cleaning more difficult but can also lead to the need for more frequent replacements of cleaning products.

Skin and Hair Issues: Hard water can also affect your skin and hair. The minerals can strip moisture from your skin, leading to dryness and irritation. Similarly, hair washed in hard water may feel dull and lifeless, making it harder to manage.

The Benefits of Installing a Water Softener

A water softener works by removing the calcium and magnesium ions from hard water, replacing them with softer sodium or potassium ions. This simple yet effective process reduces the negative impacts of hard water throughout your home, providing several key benefits:

Improved Plumbing Longevity: By installing a water softener, you can significantly reduce scale buildup in your plumbing system. This means fewer clogs, less pressure on your pipes, and a longer lifespan for your plumbing infrastructure.

Enhanced Appliance Performance: Water softeners help protect your appliances from the damaging effects of hard water. With softened water, your dishwasher and washing machine will operate more efficiently, leading to lower energy bills and a longer lifespan for these essential appliances.

Cleaner and Brighter Dishes and Laundry: Softened water allows soap to lather more effectively, resulting in cleaner dishes and brighter laundry. You’ll notice a significant difference in the cleanliness of your items, reducing the need for additional cleaning products.

Healthier Skin and Hair: With softened water, you’ll experience a gentler wash that’s kinder to your skin and hair. Many residents in Reading report improvements in skin conditions and hair texture after switching to softened water.

Increased Home Value: Installing a water softener can be an attractive feature for potential homebuyers. It’s a valuable investment that can enhance your home’s appeal and increase its market value.

How a Plumber in Reading Can Help

If you’re considering installing a water softener in your home, a plumber in Reading can provide the expertise you need. Here’s how they can assist you:

Assessment of Your Water Quality: A professional plumber can conduct a water test to determine the hardness level of your water and recommend the best type of water softener for your needs.

Expert Installation: Installing a water softener requires knowledge of your plumbing system. A plumber in Reading can ensure that the installation is done correctly, preventing any potential issues down the line.

Maintenance and Support: After installation, your plumber can provide ongoing maintenance and support, ensuring that your water softener continues to operate efficiently.

In conclusion, installing a water softener in your home can provide numerous benefits, from protecting your plumbing and appliances to improving your overall quality of life. If you’re a resident of Reading and are dealing with the challenges of hard water, consider reaching out to a plumber in Reading to explore your options.
