Geez...there = they. I need some sleep as soon as this last rescuer makes it to the top. That capsule has taken quite a beating, but has done the job.

I love the little show he put on, of waving and bowing and blowing kisses to the camera (and to the world), with his compadres on the surface cheering and clapping over the speaker he had on down there!

Some of these guys have been there and awake for over 24 hours, I bet they still don’t sleep for a little bit longer.

Lotta memory ghosts down there now! Not one of those 33 miners will ever forget it!

Ain’t that the truth, I’m sure they will be reliving this in their minds for a very long time.

Yes, I remember that.

Well, if all ends well, and I think it’s gonna, they pulled it off in less than 24 hours.

What an amazing event! I am so impressed by the camaraderie. The “can do” attitude.

Their President is also a heck of a credit for the country.

As I said yesterday, we will be hearing bits and pieces of this story for years to come.

The president told him: “You are not the same, and the country is not the same after this. You were an inspiration. Go hug your wife and your daughter.” With Urzua by his side, he led the crowd in singing the national anthem.

I feel wistful. We should have a President like that.

Well, we just need to be patient. We will.
