The Sunrise on Sunset

My Mom has been a subscriber to Sunset Magazine since I was a kid. I didn't give it a second thought. What did I need to know about gardening, cooking or travel in my own back yard?

Flash forward 20 years and the bourgeois dreams of Sunset Magazine are mine. I still don't cook or garden, but I like seeing other people do it so well. And, having traveled the world, the West has cities, forests, mountains, lakes, canyons, deserts, and an ocean of its own worth a look.

In a sidebar from the September 2007 issue, I learned about Craig Calfee who builds bamboo bikes. How cool is a strong, light, resilient and eco-friendly bike?

With my new appreciation for Sunset, I realize that it's the original DIY mag.
