Depot catchments that look round on the wall and are not

Tbilisi’s river is not a decoration. It is a delay. A yard on the left bank can have a handsome advertised radius that includes doors on the other side, and still show a month of drops that never crossed. The bridges and the hour of the city make those doors expensive. The neighbour yard, closer to the right-bank doors, already covers them. The circle did not mention the neighbour.

Kutaisi catchments often stretch toward the port towns more cheaply than a store that sits in the Poti queue. That stretch looks wrong on a tourist map and right in the book. When we ink a catchment we plot the month of addresses, then we mark overlap with any second yard you allow us to see. The overlap is usually the part of the plate that starts an argument. That is the point of hanging it.

If the book only says ‘west’ or ‘Kakheti’, we will tell you the plate will be coarse before we cash the deposit. A coarse plate is still better than a circle. It is not as good as a month of doors.
