Reagan birth centennial stamp debuts
The Washington Times ^ | December 13, 2010 | Mark A. Kellner

Posted on 12/13/2010 12:06:08 PM PST by jazusamo

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.

....but it does give me more justification for wanting twin .50 cal machine guns mounted on my truck.

LOL, would he have heard even that? Maybe you need a nuke.

Was that coming through the Slot? Nasty winds come out of there headed southwest. (It’s called the Arizona Strip.)

Sometimes, the UHP or AHP will close the Slot to big rigs because of the wind.

Ready to go home?

but it does give me more justification for wanting twin .50 cal machine guns mounted on my truck.

The other day I saw a BMW motorcycle, with sidecar and a .50 cal mounted. I thought it was perfect but hubby thought the frame was too light.

*sigh*

I could see a M134-d minigun on a motorbike-sidecar. But not a heavy like the M2.

I’m not quite sure where it was. The wind was bad everywhere. Nearly pushed me off the road not too far out of vegas.

Yes,i I am ready to go home. At airport but security is closed. I guess they open a bit before the flight and it’s an hour still until departure.

A portal opens in midair some three feet from the south wall.
Modulated and distorted screams can be heard echoing from within as sounds similar to a soda can falling down a well are projected forth.
And they are getting closer.
A figure rockets forth from the portal and splats flat against the wall!

“Did I make it?” the figure says weakly.

Anyone in the room as he’s firmly in an impact lip lock with the wall.
