After 69 days the first miner was brought to safety from the collapsed Chilean mine.

We waited and waited and waited, I woke Donna up after 11 as they pulled Avalos to the surface.

I applaud Chile’s President Sebastian Pinera for rejecting a request by the Catholic Church to pardon imprisoned military personnel that served during Pinochet’s rule. It’s hard to understand why the Catholic Church was championing those responsible for the killing or disappearance of over three thousand people and the torture of tens of thousands, including former President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet.
