Morning Snip:
Bittersweet? Not so much.

The Childean miners have all be lifted to safety, after weeks of suspense and NASA-aided rehabilitation. For a few of the men, the return to regular life will be the final chapter of the ordeal.

Esteban Rojas, 44, said he would give his wife of 25 years the church wedding she always deserved, while Yonny Barrios, 50, faced a slightly more complicated future. The woman he embraced upon exiting the rescue capsule turned out to be his mistress, not his wife.

“He has another companion,” Marta Salinas, his wife of 28 years, told reporters, adding that she might wait for him at home. “I’m happy for him, and if he remakes his life, good for him.”
