10-4. That's the only way to fly here in North Carolina. Get a Citibank card and get 2% on gas, groceries, pharmacies, convenient stores, utilities and 1% on everything else and pay off each month online, no stamps. Cash on the barrel head, not a credit. disclaimer, not a commercial, just good ole' common sense.........will say no more about that!! Jim

Pay that bill online with checking acct in the same bank.
