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.

LOL, yup! Not much storage, just behind the seat. (I would have loved the '95 F150 extended cab, but that was thousands more.) Upside: 4x4 (manual hubs). Downside: automatic shift. Indifferent: AM radio (all I listen to are AM talk-radio stations), no A/C.
It's been a long time since I've had a vehicle with wind-wings though.

At least you won’t have to be paranoid about locking it.
There’s nothing to steal.

I may have to think of something that looks good and tastes like a nom. My brane isn’t working well.

The Days
Those were the days, my friend,
Determined path to noble end,
That shining city on the hill,
We lived in, and we felt the thrill,
Of conquered fears, and real-life foes,
The smiling warrior, valor shows.
He showed a way, we could but choose,
To follow him, or wait for news.
For action is the way of life,
In standing tall amid the strife,
In being what we need to be,
A freedom-loving people, free.

Happy birthday to President Reagan ... he’s probably enjoying a slyowicz with Pope John Paul about now.
We had Scout Sunday this morning, all made it to 9:00 a.m. Mass in our uniforms, but the house was a disaster after two full days of Scout stuff, so we’ve spent the last several hours cleaning up. I’m about to sit down with Frank and make him sleep.

Can you give us a poem about Sarah? Is she a thing of beauty and a joy forever, or what?

I’m having Second Breakfast. This one is a salad with snow peas, mushrooms, avacado and tomato with Newman’s Own poppy seed dressing.
Waiting for the Super Bowl is hard to do. No pizza for me. No beer, no Restorative. I’m just gonna try and be good to myself and feed me like I’m supposed to. I have a chicken thawing, but it won’t be ready to cook until tomorrow.
I’ve GOT to get back on that hypoglycemic diet!! *sheesh*
