Received what is probably my final issue of my subscription to Sunset magazine. If not the extra issue designed to ensnare me into another year. I've quite decided that I am not going to renew the magazine. No matter how many plative letters I receive from school band relatives. I find it too depressing. Unrealistic expectations, dreams that will never be fullfilled. Nor could be, really. Not unlike my relationship with the Walthers catalog. Over a thousand pages of HO fantasies.
As if, here are my favorite magazines, pretty much, from over the years:
Model Railroader
Popular Electronics
Electronics Illustrated
Drag Cartoons
Analog
The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction
National Lampoon
Ham Radio Horizons
Popular Communications
Softalk
QST
Bicycling
I had subscriptions to most of these, and bought the rest at the newstand. I still have tons of Model Railroaders around, but the rest have disappeared over the years.
It's not JUST about what I had for breakfast...

I used to get "Sunset Magazine" too. I liked reading all the different articles on gardening,interior/exterior decorating/remodeling, cooking and cool vacation spots. It is a bit discouraging reading it as I know that I'll never have a garden as beautiful as the ones they have or go to the many of the highlighted "in" places to go. Maybe if I win the Lotto I can see and do all these things but I guess I would need to start buying lotto tickets, huh?
