Heh, heh, heh..... I remember that.

That's the way it usually goes there.

>From what I understand, they've done a recent redoing of the carpet
and the pew padding.  I don't think that it was left up to a general
vote this time.  I think this time they went with the color and pattern
that was generally lesser expensive stock stuff as the first rug lasted
from Dec 85 till sometime this year.

I think they opted to replace the coverings of the pews since pews were
incredibly high in price to replace (like thousands of $).  So, it's
easier to put a new covering on the padding.... at least that's what I
understand right now.
