Not Saffron!
¶ The Times is buzzing this morning with Gatesiana. Rick Moranis has a dream that takes him back to a childhood cooled by apricot-colored linens flapping in the breeze, while Dan Barry, crying "Christo Shmisto," points out in his "About New York" column that The Gates are "Home Depot, Nedick's, traffic-cone orange ... the color of Cheetos." NOT SAFFRON. Cut the torosplat! In the Metro Section's Arts subdivision, Sarah Boxer covers - or does she? - The Crackers, an alternative Central Park installation that you can visit here. (And don't leave before visiting the museum store at CaféPress.) All of this according to Kathleen; I haven't even seen the paper yet. So if I missed something, it's her fault.

What about the Somerville Gates, also covered by Sarah Boxer (Times, page A15)?

Well, you see, I hadn't read the paper! And when I did read the paper, I found that I needed to correct the link. But I decided that Someville is too far out of town. And not nearly as pretty as The Crackers.

Heh, I got a good laugh out of the Somerville Gates. Didn't realize that news had made it past Boston; since I read the Times almost exclusively online, it's easy to miss the curiosity articles.
