The Lady turns 65 today (Saturday). Story [here](http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest+News/Asia/Story/A1Story20100618-222805.html).

I thought about swimming across that lake to go wish her birthday tidings, but the last American who tried something like that screwed things up badly.

Having visited Burma in the early 80’s and seen the wonders of Pagan and met the warm and friendly Burmese people, it always pains me when I hear any news from there.

It seems that the news is always bad and its been that way for so long!

Aung San Suu is one brave individual!
