2. There's no shortage of TV commercials trying to get you to save money on your car insurance in one way or another. What you won't find on TV is an ad for a that can help you save on car insurance, too. It starts at 9:30 a.m. at .

3. So much of the comedy scene is hit-or-miss these days, depending on the comedians' content and style. But Pat Gagliardi and friends promise a family friendly show full of laughs. They'll be at in Stony Brook for a comedy coffeehouse starting at 7:30 p.m.
