Gates, Schmates

Gates, Schmates

I made the trek into the city this weekend to view The Gates. Simply
put, my reaction to The Gates was "I wouldn't pay $ to see it."
Luckily, *I* didn't have to.
Seriously, I think that, in order to really appreciate The Gates, they
should have built a tower to view them from above. Certainly, as you
walked beneath each one individually, it was NOT impressive; an arial
view might have made it a little bit more worthwhile.  (Although,
likely not $19 million dollars-worthwhile.)

Admittedly, the pictures aren't amazing, but then look what I had to work with.

I think that fabric would make great midriff cover.

$19M could feed a lot of people, couldn't it? Sigh.

$19 million? heck, it's no match for giant killer umbrellas hhuh?

Yeah. Although I just went back again to confirm the $19 million dollar fact, and found a new estimate at $21 million for the 23 miles of gates.
