Hurrah! I didn't follow all the news on that one: how did they survive down there? Did they have two months' worth of rations?
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

There are happy dogs that expect a good thing to happen, and then there are others who seem to have a case of the gloomies. Dogs can be classified as optimists or pessimists the same as humans, according to research from a team led by Michael Mendl.
Heh. This is not news to me.
ETA: which is not to say she's not a happy dog. But she definitely looks at the world waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I still can't believe that mine story. P-C, they sent stuff down to them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
P-C, they sent stuff down to them.
Yeah, they had some narrow tube, so anything that could fit they could send down.

They also could have sent a DVD of that movie of the guy who's trapped in a coffin....

I haven't heard the story of how the miners got the first "hey 33 of us are alive in here" note out. And I can't even imagine keeping hope up for 17 days before they did.
CNN does a dece job of shutting up when the miners emerge but some of them act like they're being interrupted. Dude, you're the filler, they're the story.
