It's Thursday, and at one point wicked weather is supposed to be whipping through the area. High winds and rains.
Ugh!
Ok, now, to get something off my chest.
The miners rescued in Chile. I'm happy that they were all rescued, however, there is one miner that is causing a stir. Each man was given a list of three people who they wanted to be waiting for him. One man wanted his sister, his wife, and his mistress.
::)
The wife (who had not know of her) said "It’s been 28 years,” she said of their marriage, adding that “if he wants to start a new life with her, well good for him.” and she will not return his mail or messages.
I don't know this man, so the fact that he had a mistress doesn't bother me. What has bothered me is the way it's been reported in the media.....I've sort of gotten the impression from some of the news casters that it was almost funny, or they talked about it in such a blasé way that it's almost as if this type of behavior is expected.
Really? Is that how it is now?

Miner 21! I saw his rescue last night....
I posted about this in the Chile Miner thread.
I get that cheating is not funny, but it *was* amusing watching the live feed because they were desperately trying to work out who the one female was. .. wife, mistress, or sister?
(Apparently as he was getting pulled up and she arrived at the waiting areas there was conflicting reports about who it was and who he had asked for to be there, on top of the fact that he had also apparently signed power of attorney over to his mistress, but they wondered if that had been changed back..)
Then when he got up onto ground level, they were trying to work out by the way they embraced which of the three it was! They seemed to think it was either the wife or mistress but there was no full on kiss - the woman just kept stroking his face and bear hugging him, so I'm unconviced ...
There was talk of five miners having known mistresses so maybe in Chile it's more common?

I just read this letter in the Sydney Morning Herald by a person Chilean descent
The truth is that in Chile divorce has only recently been legalised and most people will never legally divorce. This isn't to say they don't move on with their lives. Barrios separated from his wife more than five years ago, and the so-called mistress has been his de facto partner for more than two.
