00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:12,520
We're the daily podcast that gets you started on the right foot and always with a positive

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,520
vibe.

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:19,080
I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Wednesday, February 14th.

5
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:22,160
Today is Valentine's Day.

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:28,920
Celebrated in memory of St. Valentine, a Roman priest and physician martyred around 270

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,040
AD.

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:36,800
This day of love stems from a legend where Valentine, before his execution, penned a

9
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:43,960
letter to his jailor's daughter, who he loved, signing it from your Valentine.

10
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,880
So today, if you're being executed and happen to be dating the warden's daughter, you should

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,440
write her a letter and sign it from your Valentine.

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,480
If she has a good sense of humor, she'll think it's hilarious.

13
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,680
Now let's check out the weather in the San Diego area.

14
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:09,120
This morning it's partly cloudy skies and 42 degrees with just about no wind.

15
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:16,920
The sunset will take place at 5.33 p.m. and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.31 a.m.

16
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,360
It looks like we're in for some clouds early, then gradually becoming sunny with a high

17
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:27,400
near 63 and variable wind 5 to 10 mile per hour in the afternoon.

18
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:35,360
Tonight, partly cloudy with a low around 47 and north wind around 5 mile per hour.

19
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:42,280
In the surf report, we can expect smaller waves on Wednesday, ideal for beginners.

20
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,440
Conditions will be clean in the morning with thigh-to-waist-high waves, occasionally reaching

21
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,880
chest-high at select spots.

22
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,080
Expect light offshore wind, turning onshore by midday.

23
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,800
Looking ahead to Thursday and Friday, there's an active pattern in the North Pacific, bringing

24
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:06,720
fun overlapping west-northwest and northwest swells.

25
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:13,320
Friday should see widespread waist-to-chest-high waves, potentially reaching 1 to 2 feet overhead

26
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,420
at some spots.

27
00:02:15,420 --> 00:02:22,000
In Pacific Beach and South San Diego, it's looking good and clean at 2 to 3 feet any

28
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,400
time before noon, with 2-foot incoming mid-tide at 9 a.m.

29
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,600
Air temps for the morning surf are around 47 degrees.

30
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:40,600
The first low tide Wednesday will be 1 foot around 6.30 a.m. with a high tide at 3.5 feet,

31
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,880
just after 12.

32
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:51,640
The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 59 degrees for the water temperature.

33
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:57,000
Looking ahead in the weather, we'll see a pleasant Thursday with mostly sunny skies

34
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:05,720
and a high near 65, accompanied by northwest wind at 5 to 10 mph with gusts up to 20.

35
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,880
The night brings partly cloudy conditions with a low around 49.

36
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,720
Friday remains mostly sunny with a slight increase in temperature to around 66 degrees,

37
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,720
but the night turns mostly cloudy with lows near 51.

38
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,080
Saturday continues with more sun and a high near 64, while the night might see a slight

39
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:33,240
chance of rain before 4 a.m. and lows around 52 degrees.

40
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,760
Sunday offers a mix of sun and clouds with another slight chance of rain and a high near

41
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,760
65.

42
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,720
Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

43
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:50,400
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

44
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven

45
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,760
for culinary delights.

46
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,360
Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes.

47
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,720
You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.

48
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,240
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

49
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,680
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

50
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,840
Sunny mornings send you!

51
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:31,000
In local news, San Diego is investing $21 million in a new Bell firefighting helicopter, enhancing

52
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,600
its aerial firefighting capabilities.

53
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,400
This purchase, necessary to meet the needs of an ever-changing environment, brings the

54
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,280
city's fleet to three.

55
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:47,640
The new addition offers greater water capacity, crucial for effective firefighting.

56
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:55,160
It follows the 2018 acquisition of a Sikorsky Firehawk, renowned for its high water capacity.

57
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:01,200
The city also plans to construct a new hangar at Montgomery Gibbs Executive Airport, addressing

58
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,520
the need for indoor storage and to reduce maintenance and downtime.

59
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,360
This move underlines the increasing importance of aerial firefighting in combating these

60
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:23,840
climate change-related disasters, which are creating faster moving and more intense fires.

61
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:26,120
Now on to sports.

62
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:32,360
Manny Machado is intensifying his training following off-season surgery for tennis elbow.

63
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:38,280
Currently in spring training, Machado's primary concern is building arm strength for the upcoming

64
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:39,760
season.

65
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,000
Despite a challenging year marked by his first injury list appearance in nine years and a

66
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,800
lower OPS, Machado remains focused and optimistic.

67
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:55,720
The Pondrays, after missing last season's postseason, have undergone significant changes,

68
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,080
including trading Juan Soto to the Yankees and losing key players like Josh Hader and

69
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,720
Blake Snell.

70
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:09,480
Machado, alongside Fernando Tatis Jr. and others, is confident in the team's potential,

71
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,800
emphasizing the need for collective performance improvement.

72
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,600
The Pondrays are still seeking to strengthen their roster, with General Manager A.J.

73
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:24,080
Preller exploring trade options, especially in the outfield.

74
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,760
Now on to the NBA.

75
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,320
Last night, the Lakers at home beat the Pistons 125 to 111.

76
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,740
Tonight, the Lakers are hitting the road to take on the Jazz.

77
00:06:37,740 --> 00:06:42,680
And the Clippers are also on the road to play the Warriors.

78
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:49,920
In national hockey last night, the Kings on the road got shut out by the Sabres 7-0.

79
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,840
And the Ducks, also on the road, got shut out 5-0 by the Canadians.

80
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:01,060
Rough night for SoCal hockey fans.

81
00:07:01,060 --> 00:07:08,360
And top news, the USDA has announced a nationwide recall of certain charcuterie meats by Fratelli

82
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:15,120
Beretta USA due to potential under-processing in foodborne pathogens.

83
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:22,440
Affected packages are sold under brands like Appleton Farms, Dietz & Watson, and Hublix.

84
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,960
They have been distributed to stores including Aldi, Costco, and Sam's Club.

85
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,480
This follows a previous recall for Salmonella contamination.

86
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:38,240
Consumers and businesses are advised to dispose of or return the products.

87
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,960
Symptoms of Salmonella poisoning may include, but are not limited to, prolonged dehydration,

88
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:49,600
sleeping in an empty bathtub, and death.

89
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:56,200
In business news, Nvidia corporations surpassed Amazon in market value for the first time

90
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:04,000
in nearly 22 years, closing with a market cap of $1.78 trillion.

91
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,440
This achievement makes Nvidia, the fourth largest US company, a significant rise from

92
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,920
its position outside the top 20 just four years ago.

93
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:20,240
Despite overall market declines, Nvidia's smaller stock drop compared to Amazon's

94
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,880
helped it gain the upper hand.

95
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,680
And their progress doesn't stop here.

96
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:30,560
It's now eying to overtake Alphabet, which is valued at $1.81 trillion.

97
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:38,600
Meanwhile, Amazon finished with a $1.75 trillion market cap last year.

98
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:44,960
Upcoming Nvidia earnings are highly anticipated, with expectations of substantial revenue growth,

99
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,920
signaling strong demand for its AI hardware.

100
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:57,320
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is currently just under $50,000, Ethereum is at about $2,600,

101
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:03,600
and Solana is $111.

102
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,980
Moving on to a more local vibe.

103
00:09:06,980 --> 00:09:13,000
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

104
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,200
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

105
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,320
Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the San Diego area.

106
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:28,520
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

107
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,520
and elevating mental well-being.

108
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,400
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

109
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,760
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

110
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,080
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

111
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,240
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

112
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,760
And now back to the show.

113
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,640
Let's talk tech and space exploration.

114
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:05,000
Last night's SpaceX launch could mark a historic moment in U.S. space travel, being

115
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,040
the first return to the moon since 1972.

116
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,400
Funded privately and crafted by intuitive machines, the mission aims to deliver scientific

117
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,200
instruments to the moon's south pole.

118
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:26,040
This is crucial for SpaceX and Elon Musk's vision of making humanity multi-planetary

119
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,320
with Mars as a key target.

120
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:34,840
Although SpaceX has excelled in satellite deployment and astronaut transportation, planetary

121
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,520
travel is a new frontier.

122
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,520
The mission's success, hinging on today's launch from Florida's Kennedy Space Center,

123
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,400
could pave the way for future interplanetary travel.

124
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:53,680
However, risks remain, as highlighted by recent propulsion issues in similar missions.

125
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:58,960
SpaceX has made specific technical adjustments for this launch, acknowledging the challenges,

126
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,800
but remaining hopeful for a successful mission.

127
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,600
And in entertainment news.

128
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:13,800
This summer, Santana and Counting Crows are embarking on the Oneness Tour, a 29-show journey

129
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,960
across 28 North American cities.

130
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:23,760
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Santana's Supernatural album, the tour kicks off in

131
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:29,520
Toronto and concludes with performances in San Diego and Phoenix.

132
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:36,760
Primo Santana, a rock and roll hall of fame inductee and 2013 Kennedy Center honoree,

133
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,400
continues to inspire.

134
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:45,480
Fans can buy tickets through various pre-sales and VIP packages, promising a unique concert

135
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,720
experience.

136
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:52,360
The tour features notable stops, including Red Rocks Amphitheater and the iconic Footprint

137
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,360
Center in Phoenix.

138
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,040
Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

139
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,080
And today, our quote comes from the delightful Catherine Hepburn.

140
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:12,400
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, only with what you are expecting to

141
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,960
give, which is everything.

142
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:22,400
And I wish you all a lot of love on this Valentine's Day.

143
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,800
And that's a wrap for this morning.

144
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,960
Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates.

145
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:35,280
Have an amazing day my good friends.
