Coming to America

According to the NYTimes:
"With the current law financing federal agencies due to expire on  
Friday, the measure — approved on 91-9 vote — postpones a potential  
shutdown and gives lawmakers time to negotiate a plan to keep the  
 government running through Sept. 30. But lawmakers and top aides are  
already predicting that at least one more temporary measure will be  
required, because the two parties remain divided on how much spending  
 to cut and on which programs should have their budgets slashed. "It is  
hard to believe we've reached the point in Washington where we are  
going to fund our United States government two weeks at a time,"  
Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat, said.

What this means for us is that we are definitely coming home!  We have flights and movers arranged, all scheduled to happen before March 18 (the 2 weeks from now Dick Durbin references).  Should the government actually shut down, at least we will be stateside when it happens!
