Autumn has arrived. This season is the wettest season in Abkhazia. It means that there are grey skies, grey clouds, consecutive grey days, and rain beforehand. I do not like rainy weather. I am melancholy in rainy weather.
Today is a service day. Our Crusher has a rest, a deserved rest. Last week was a "productive" week. We found and destroyed four anti-personnel mines. Four mines are not quite enough. But four saved lives is a great many. And only the thought of that makes me feel proud.
And then the locals ask us about the Crusher (they are seeing it for the first time as we are working on a new minefield). We answer proudly that it is the big "clever" machine which inspects the soil, finds and destroys the mines inside itself, saving human lives.
