I didn't know about that. I'm not surprised, though. Mistresses are more "accepted" in that culture. "More" not "Completely." Are the two women fighting?

If I were that guy, I would want to stay underground until one of them left.

It will be interesting to see which one he hugs first.

Seriously though, this is a pretty amazing thing.

I stayed up last night to watch the first 3 get rescued. Pretty amazing to be able to see the trapped miners & the ability to get items to them as well as the ability to get them out. So far, so good!

God is Good!

Is it just me, or do these guys look awfully clean? I'm not trying to make any jokes at their expense because they have been through plenty. But, they have been trapped in a collapsed mine for more than two months, and they come out looking clean shaven and fresh. Kinda weird.

That's because they sent them soap and razors down to the miners.

What an incredible story of human triumph and their faith in God.

Do these guys get paid overtime being trapped down there?
