The "Trapped" Miners

So let me get this straight, a group of miners have been trapped underground for over two months? But they've had access to food, water, playing cards, dominos, cell phone service and a video camera- to name a few. So my question is this, have they been "trapped" or has this actually been just a little unplanned, but relaxing never the less, vacation from the hustle and bustle of their every day lives? The footage I've seen of the guys shows them high fiving each other and smiling. I also think I saw a few empty Barton bottles and some Taco Bell wrappers in the background. I can't help but wonder if perhaps this just wasn't the miners usual secret hideout but during one break they lost track of time and stayed long enough to cause concern. In fear of getting caught drinking on the job they decided to wait it out and sober up. But then one thing led to another and before they knew it us damn Americans jumped in our news vans to head to Chile to make this a huge public event. Now there was no goin back, suddenly they were in it a little too deep. Yes, that was one of my awful intended puns. I guess the truth will be revealed in just a matter of hours when the miners get on the elevator one at a time and ride their way back to earth. The guy who drew the short straw and is the last to leave the hole after all of his buddies are out is where all of the pressure will lie. If he's down there even a few minutes too long all on his lonesome the true story will be revealed. It will be revealed when he says screw waiting and opts instead for the secret staircase the miners used that got them into this mess in the first place. Once again, this is all speculation. Just don't be surprised if the last elevator ride goes down to find an empty hole. I wish them all the best though. Planned or unplanned, being underground for more than a day or two would be awful. I think about the bugs I've found in my basement and bet the bugs underground in Chile are even worse.

So like I said, Chris and I are going to California this weekend for his cousin's wedding. We sure got lucky that the Huskers don't have a game this weekend. Because boy would we hate to miss a home game, especially if it was an important game. Against a good team. Or a game whose outcome weighs heavily on us having an actual shot at playing in the National Championship. That would suck. But, doesn't matter because we won't even be thinking about the silly Huskers while we're at DISNEY LAND!!! The original Disney Land, where so much amazing rich history has happened. Like Michelle getting crowned queen for a day, and Danny proposing to Vicky, and where D.J. experienced shrooms for the first time and hallucinated seeing Steve all over the park. Anything is possible in the land of magic.
