Milestones: two big and bad, one small and good

Today is Daw Aung Sung Suu Kyi's 62nd birthday, her 18th since first being placed under house arrest in 1989 and her 5th since being re-arrested in May 2003.

The UNHCR has reported that refugee numbers are up for the first time in 5 years, largely due to the Iraq war.

This blog notched up its 1000th hit today (and it's not counting my own pageloads!).

Edit: Also, apparently we had an earthquake here in Chiang Mai today, measuring 4.something on the Richter scale. I was eating lunch. Found out about 2 hours later.
