Sorry if this was asked already, but I didn't want to read too many thread titles.

It was heavily implied that Lucas talking to Dunbar was illegal and then the AG gets in hot water over it because Dunbar told her and she didn't report it. Why? Something about breaking the witness security protocol, but I'm at a loss.

I have one VISA credit card and two consumer cards, Lowe's and Best Buy. The consumer cards aren't VISA, MC, etc., they're just branded with the store's logo.

Everything is paid off (finally) and I plan on using the VISA only for gas so that there's transaction activity happening but I can pay it off each billing period. I have a $1k limit on the credit card, and $3.5k between the two consumer cards, so $4.5k in total.

Okay, it was a museum, sure, but it's the envy of the remaining heritage railroads. Less than ten miles long, we boasted two tunnels that predated the Civil War. One is even somewhat famous among history buffs as the site of a decent skirmish. (The Rebels
