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.

He doesn’t know.
He’s going out on a limb with that one.

The splat against the wall and his subsequent exclamations could serve to pin-point his location.

Yes, if it weren’t for the fact that everyone who DID observe the event hadn’t ducked out the side door while stifling laughter.

“Oh, Pat. You’re back. I told you to put your clean laundry away before you started working on the new Dimensional Portal kit. Now get up there and get it done, and you have to gave James the next two tries. And clean the blood off the wall. You better not have damaged your teeth, we’re over our dental insurance limit for this year.”

Of course. I knew it was Pat. Things were just a little too normal around here.

If you see the dog come through with a couple pillows taped around it for crash padding, you’ll know that there’s something afoot.

He won’t tell me where he was trying to go ... maybe wherever all the socks went.

If I see the dog come through, it’s probably because she was following a Sun Bean.
I’m sure Pat was following his idea.

And don’t you just love those mountains? My home town is 60 miles south of where you are, in a smaller valley, but that just makes the mountain view more awesome.

Pretty scary place.

The store says it’s the manufacturer’s fault, and the manufacturer says it’s the store’s fault. They’re going to expedite the correct size and sort out whom to blame among themselves.
Ash likes the extra Sunbeam Time with no blind in the schoolroom window, but Bill complains about the sunshine on the computer screen. Bill’s a twink. Frank is throwing banana pieces; I can hear it splatting. And Ash won’t clean up.
