On Elvis!
How could I not? Growing up I spent many a happy afternoon watching young Elvis movies with my Mom.
Good looking and an amazing singer, the vision of my ideal boyfriend was implanted in my brain from a very early age…
(No, my husband looks little like Elvis - but girl can dream.)

Across from my hotel was a banner promoting monthly rentals in a parking garage.
The spots were on sale!
To help potential renters understand the great deal, the price was quoted in both a monthly and daily rate.

Monthly rate = $167.06/month
Daily rate = $7.95/day
Hmmm…. $7.95 [...]
