Reagan birth centennial stamp debuts

If it was "morning in America" for President Ronald Reagan, a new commemorative postage stamp due in February to mark "the Gipper's" birth centennial will forever view the sunrise.
The new commemorative stamp, whose design was unveiled Monday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., always will be valid for a 1-ounce first-class letter, the U.S. Postal Service confirmed. It officially will be released at the library on Feb. 10, 2011, four days after the 100th anniversary of Reagan's birth.
Texas artist Bart Forbes did the portrait, based on a 1985 photograph of Reagan taken at Rancho del Cielo, near Santa Barbara, Calif.
The design was published first in Linn's Stamp News, a hobbyist publication. Earlier this year, Linn's broke the news that a Reagan Centennial postage stamp would be released.
Although the preliminary design shows a 44-cent value, the postal agency recently announced that all commemorative, or special, issues will be inscribed with "Forever," instead of a face value, meaning they would sell for the then-current first-class rate but would remain valid for first-class mail even when rates increase.
A USPS spokesman who asked not to be identified by name said a revised version showing the "Forever" inscription will be released Dec. 28.

Hey, I like it! A strangely earthlike thread ...
Now, has anyone seen the Topic? How about the 100-watt light bulbs?

The Topic? I dunno.
Uh oh. My new watch is suddenly 15 minutes slow. Ack. Maybe I have to give up on mechanical watches.
Checking out in an hour; I better take a few minutes to pack for the trip home.

Maybe it’s a time zone thing.

Yep. I'm driving a Dodge Dakota. All it did was crack the grill and knock the drives side headlight out of alignment.
Silly little Semi's... They need to pick on people their own size.
Funny stuff aside, we were sitting at a light. Me behind him. He must have had it out of gear without the brake set because it started rolling backwards. I couldn't back up, rush hour traffic and a line of cars on either side. *crunch*. I get out to survey the damage, light turns green, he takes off. May not have even realized he'd hit me. Minor damage. Maybe $150 total and a couple hours worth of work.
NBD (no big deal), but it does give me more justification for wanting twin .50 cal machine guns mounted on my truck.

Time zones in North America are hour-based offsets. A few are half-hour offset (India), and one in South America is 15-minute offset.

Silly little Semi's... They need to pick on people their own size. I was rather a bit worried every time I passed one last night, what with the wind gusts. I saw one struggling not quite successfully to remain in his lane.
