Ha yea, but that's the allure.
Chiatura, Georgia. It was a mining town in the Soviet days, they decided the best way to move workers around was a town connected by cable cars. They're sketchy now, and on their last days, but they're getting replaced by brand new less exciting ones. Happy I got to see it while it was still there.

"That rope is the only way to get up on that mountain?"

"Yup"
"How often do you replace it?"
"When it breaks"

I’ve only been to Tbilisi and only for a day. But that was definitely a country I need to go back to.

I really didn't care for Tbilisi much, it's not at all a representation of the rest of the country yet it's all most people see. This what I wrote down while on the plane leaving after three weeks exploring:
Stunning, beautiful, gorgeous...we ran out of synonyms while exploring this country. The scenery seems to change by the minute. After an early morning walk to watch the sunrise absolutely alone in the desert, we finished the evening driving through a blizzard in some of Europe's highest mountains. And the people, they are probably the most generous in the world. The old lady at the bus stop selling toilet paper and sunflower seeds stuffed serving after serving of seeds in our faces, then refusing any payment. There were so many drunk nights because someone would pour us a glass before even exchanging hellos. Fresh bread, delicious cheese, endless homemade wine, and never a worry about security. Georgia is definitely one of my favorite countries, but I'm scared, Tbilisi is so ruined by tourism already. Come here now, refuse day trips, and spend as little time as possible in Tbilisi. See the real Georgia. What a country…

There is something about the sight of that particular kind of gas mask that has always, always, given me the willies - as a child, it was just plain fear. Seeing a pile of them like this gives me all kinds of "nope nope nope" feelings....

Dude, please tell me you jacked a mask. That would be a great coffee table conversation piece.

Yea, We were told not to touch anything. I doubt think customs would be pumped on me trying to bring that back into the country.

Nice little ice halo to get primed for the holiday season. I’m sure @Boris Badenov has fond memories of these ...

It diffuses the light nicely. Gives it a softer, more Christma...er Holiday feel. Seasonally appropriate, like Pumpkin-Spice or Influenza.

With one exception, aircraft carriers are ships but your carrier is The Boat.
(Edit: Forgot about subs)

I don't know, man, I'm not a squid. I worked as a Reactor Operator for about 15 years with a BUNCH of them though, and they always called submarines boats, and anything on the surface ships.
Maybe it's different from the Naval Aviator point of view?
