Hi, Steve.

I did replace my covers about 6 months ago, and the total cost was $56.00.
Already, the new covers have deposits.  The cost was a little bit higher
than you might expect, because I use double-strength glass so that I don't
worry about the weight of the light fixture sitting on top stressing the
glass.

car with a flat tire.  (Meaning it isn't going to be nice doing the 20 mile
round trip commute on a bicyclein the rain, tomorrow)
