"What da hell is a satsuma?" Dusty asked, reaching over to pick up one of the fruits for inspection. The only thing he'd ever eaten out of the assortment had been oranges. He knew what a pomegranate looked like only because of fancy advertisements, but had never held one.<br/><br/>"Need to learn to ferment it to hooch before it goes bad. I'll take some of it back to culture it, and get you someting going. Bring you some brewers yeast next time I'm out dis way. Something different dan beer or moonshine." Fruit was good for a few things, though he was grateful for any variety to his diet. "How you grow dis?" he wondered, "Living in da little apartment." Dusty drove them out of the city, taking the longer way around to make navigating the boat trailer a little easier. He still had to thread it through some interesting situations but he knew from experience the route was passable. He was taking them to the river north, predicting there might be some good fishing opportunities. He hadn't been up that way in a bit and was curious who still ran the parts. Locals out on the water who kept to themselves and stayed out of the city.<br/><br/>"What'chew do for meat?" Dusty wondered, not thinking the young man did much hunting in the city once he had them backing up to unload the boat. It was something he was used to doing by himself, and once he got it in the water and tied off, he had the young man help load it up. The fishing gear, the fruit, the cooler, though a separate container for gator bait, sealed tight because it was rancid. It was easy to hunt them at night, but Dusty still preferred to do it the way he was raised. Probably safer too, uncertain how much time the young man had really spent on the water.  He moved the truck and welded boat trailer aside and returned to the boat. Despite her looks, the flat bottom boat started right up.<br/><br/>"You get out here much before things changed?" he asked, guiding them slowly from a standing position. The brush was thicker now, but the river still cut them a clear path. He reached for a beer and lit himself a cigarette. "Brought moonshine too."
