Gas Prices! We talked this morning about how expensive it is for gas these days, but also on ways to save some money. Here are some tips:

Fill up midweek-gas prices tend to be lower

Don't fill up during the day-gas expands with heat

Don't top off-you get less gas for your money than you would during your fill up

For more tips and to see what stations have the cheapest gas near you, go to www.fueleconomy.gov

$25 Pyramid-Erica played this morning and $5 will roll over to tomorrow.

Was that a MONKEY? OK, so my story this morning was I was driving by Wekiwa State park in Longwood and I swear I saw a monkey on the side of the road eating in the grass. I had my kids in the car, so I turned around so they could see the monkey too. We watched it eat and walk around and it was so strange that there was a monkey right there in front of our car. Even a cyclist came by and I said to her "Hey, you see that monkey over there!" She replied "IT'S A SQUIRREL!" She totally burst my bubble! A squirrel? No way, it was huge, had really long arms, it was a monkey! Well, we took calls this morning...some say it was a fox squirrel which is pictured above. Other callers said it very well could have been a monkey. Have you ever seen one in that area?

Don't forget, we're giving you a chance to go to the Daytime Emmy's with Erica in Hollywood! Listen tomorrow morning starting at 5:30 for all of the details. You can also get more info here, http://www.mix1051.com/pages/498757.php
