Okay so apparently the polls have closed and the votes tallied, with all
(but, I think, the Icelandic district) reporting early returns, and ABC
news is projecting a unanimous landslide decision 2004 in favor of
...drumroll, please: Paying the overdue rent.

As you may remember, the bill had a pork barrel amendment tacked on at
the last minute by Lord Burns, which proposed we go ahead pay both the
back rent *and* prepay the front rent, through um... 31 Jan, 2005.  If I
didn't know better I'd cast aspersions in the general direction of a
possible kickback, but since it's not his district, lets just let that
comment kinda hang out there, as pure innuendo, rather than responding,
and thus promoting it to a full-fledged rumor... :-)

So the check's in the mail, Jeff, --er well, figuratively.  Would you
prefer paper or PayPal?  And it is resolved that we will plan to be
fully moved out, and into our new digs before February.

I, for one, am glad this issue is resolved, and would once again like
to thank everyone for helping to making democracy work.  Even on the
internet.
