1 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 --> 00:00:18,280 I'm your host Melissa and it's Monday, February 19th. 5 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:26,200 You'll be interested to know, 146 years ago today, in 1878, Thomas Edison patented the 6 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,160 phonograph. 7 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,840 The phonograph, which records sound on tinfoil cylinders, was inspired by his telegraph and 8 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,960 telephone work. 9 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:42,360 Initially a novelty, it evolved with improvements like wax cylinders and floating stylus, mainly 10 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,160 used by experts. 11 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:48,560 The Edison-speaking phonograph company was formed in 1878. 12 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:55,100 Later, Edison's company introduced more user-friendly models, expanding its use in 13 00:00:55,100 --> 00:01:01,840 entertainment and business, maintaining relevance despite emerging competing formats. 14 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,160 Now that I feel like I've learned something, let's check out the weather in the San Diego 15 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,040 area. 16 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:14,480 This morning it's mostly cloudy skies and 56 degrees, with just about no wind. 17 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:21,980 The sunset will take place at 5.37 p.m. and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.26 a.m. 18 00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:26,460 It looks like we're in for a slight chance of showers today, but mostly cloudy with a 19 00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:32,240 high near 65 and southeast wind 5 to 10 mile per hour. 20 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,920 Chance of precipitation is 20%. 21 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:42,720 Tonight, a slight chance of showers, cloudy with a low around 55 and wind around 5 mile 22 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,000 per hour. 23 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,380 Chance of precipitation is 30%. 24 00:01:47,380 --> 00:01:55,440 In the surf report, expect a solid west swell refresh on Tuesday, slightly larger than Sunday. 25 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,560 Monday's conditions seem challenging, but Tuesday looks more promising with sizable 26 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,720 surf, shorter intervals, and more westerly direction. 27 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:11,140 Expect sizable leftovers and onshore wind on Wednesday, then smaller, cleaner conditions 28 00:02:11,140 --> 00:02:13,140 by Friday. 29 00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:20,000 Monday in Ocean Beach and South San Diego, it's looking good and clean at 6 to 9 feet 30 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,800 anytime before 9 a.m. with a 4-foot outgoing high tide at 7 a.m. 31 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,360 After that, it's not looking rideable. 32 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,960 Best time to ride will be around 5 a.m. 33 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,820 Air temps for the morning surf are around 55 degrees. 34 00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:44,520 The first high tide Monday will be 5 feet just after 5.30 a.m. with a minus half-foot 35 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,160 low tide just after 1 p.m. 36 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:56,960 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 59 degrees for the water temperature. 37 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,580 Looking ahead in the weather, we'll see cloudy skies and showers on Tuesday with a high near 38 00:03:02,580 --> 00:03:08,280 63 degrees and a south wind of 5 to 10 mile per hour. 39 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,240 The evening brings a higher likelihood of rain and potential thunderstorms continuing 40 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,360 into early Wednesday. 41 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,680 Wednesday will be partly sunny with a high near 62 and a chance of morning rain. 42 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,000 The trend of increasing clouds continues into Wednesday and Thursday night with lows around 43 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,440 50. 44 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:34,320 Expect cloudy conditions on Thursday and Friday, gradually clearing up to mostly sunny skies 45 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,480 with highs in the low to mid 60s. 46 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,560 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 47 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:47,200 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 48 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,760 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 49 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,600 for culinary delights. 50 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:02,200 Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 51 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,040 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 52 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,040 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 53 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,520 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 54 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,620 Sunny mornings send you. 55 00:04:18,620 --> 00:04:26,400 In local news, Morrea Village in Encinitas, a mixed-use project with 94 apartments, a 56 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,320 32-room hotel and commercial buildings is progressing after a year-long negotiation 57 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,000 over hotel room affordability. 58 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,760 Initially approved in August 2022, it faced delays due to disagreements with the California 59 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,840 Coastal Commission on low-cost hotel rooms. 60 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:50,720 In October, a resolution was reached with Fenway Capital, the developer, agreeing to 61 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,200 pay over a million dollars instead of including the required amount of low-cost rooms in the 62 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,200 project. 63 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:04,160 It is to be stressed this payment is not a bribe and will supposedly fund other affordable 64 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,360 local projects. 65 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:12,160 The project, which does include 19 affordable housing units, is now awaiting building permits 66 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,920 with a groundbreaking expected later this year. 67 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,320 I believe it is still undecided whether or not the rooms with an ocean view will be earmarked 68 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:29,800 for the affordability treatment. 69 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,800 Now on to sports. 70 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:38,040 The Oakland Athletics potential relocation to Las Vegas is now shrouded in uncertainty. 71 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:44,720 ESPN reporter Jeff Besson, appearing on Pardon the Interruption, highlighted widespread doubts 72 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:51,480 about the Movespeed's ability, citing the Athletics' history of organizational miss-outs. 73 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,120 Critically, even Las Vegas mayor has expressed skepticism. 74 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,320 The A's, known for their less-than-stellar management, have struggled with simple tasks, 75 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:07,020 raising questions about their capacity to manage such a significant relocation. 76 00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:12,420 This skepticism is rooted in a series of blunders, including a poorly received farewell gift 77 00:06:12,420 --> 00:06:18,160 to Miguel Cabrera and subpar concessions' stand offerings, reflecting broader issues 78 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,480 in fan engagement and operational confidence. 79 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:28,040 The complexity of relocating a major sports team adds to the challenge, making the successful 80 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,040 execution of this move appear increasingly uncertain. 81 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,240 In other sports news, the NBA All-Star Gang was last night. 82 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,100 The East beat the West 2-11 to 1-86. 83 00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:46,640 The Lakers and Clippers get back to it on Thursday. 84 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:52,160 Last night in hockey, the Kings were on the road and beat the Penguins 2-1. 85 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:58,680 Tonight the Ducks are on the road to take on the Sabres. 86 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:06,040 In top news, scientists are exploring groundbreaking geoengineering techniques to combat climate 87 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:12,520 change, as traditional methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are lagging. 88 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,600 These methods include spraying saltwater into clouds, injecting reflective particles into 89 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,500 the sky, and altering ocean chemistry. 90 00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:26,540 These once-taboo approaches, now receiving funding and attention, aim to reflect sunlight 91 00:07:26,540 --> 00:07:31,200 away from Earth or absorb atmospheric CO2. 92 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,160 For example, a project off Australia's coast seeks to brighten clouds in order to cool 93 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,920 the Great Barrier Reef's waters, while in Israel reflective particles are being tested 94 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,800 to cool the atmosphere. 95 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:51,200 In Massachusetts, researchers plan to reduce ocean acidity and absorb CO2 by adding sodium 96 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,040 hydroxide to seawater. 97 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:59,280 While these innovative experiments offer potential short-term climate solutions, they are met 98 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:06,280 with caution due to risks like altered rainfall patterns or harm to marine life. 99 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:12,160 The United Nations Environmental Assembly is debating the implications of such interventions, 100 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:19,640 underlining the delicate balance between innovative solutions and unforeseen consequences. 101 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:25,240 In business news, with record highs in the stock market, investors are debating the stock 102 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,400 values using various valuation models. 103 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:35,800 The S&P 500's recent performance raises questions about overvaluation. 104 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:41,160 Models like the price to earnings ratio, which is currently above its 10-year average, suggest 105 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,780 stocks may be expensive. 106 00:08:43,780 --> 00:08:49,000 Other metrics like the price to book ratio and the equity risk premium also indicate 107 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,520 high valuations. 108 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:56,960 The price to earnings growth ratio and the cyclically adjusted price to earnings ratio 109 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,760 provide further insights. 110 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,200 These models, combined with economic conditions and company health, help investors gauge market 111 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,200 status. 112 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:12,480 Notably, tech stocks like Nvidia show high valuations, reflecting their growth potential. 113 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,800 Overall, these indicators suggest a cautious approach in a market that might be reaching 114 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,100 inflated levels. 115 00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:28,160 And speaking of inflated, in crypto movement, Bitcoin is currently just over $52,000, Ethereum 116 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:36,280 is nearing $3,000, and Solana is $112. 117 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,720 Moving on to a more local vibe. 118 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,720 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 119 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,920 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 120 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,040 Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the San Diego area. 121 00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:01,240 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 122 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,760 and elevating mental well-being. 123 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,120 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 124 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:14,480 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class with locations in Encinitas, 125 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,800 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 126 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,960 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 127 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,320 And now back to the show. 128 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,120 Let's talk tech. 129 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:36,560 Chinese automaker BYD is exploring Mexico as a potential base for exporting cars to 130 00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,640 the U.S. 131 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,800 This move aims to bypass hefty U.S. tariffs on Chinese-made vehicles. 132 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:50,240 BYD's consideration of factory locations in Mexico aligns with a broader trend of Chinese 133 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,800 car industry expansion into North America. 134 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:59,980 If executed, this strategy would allow BYD to leverage Mexico's lower labor costs and 135 00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:05,180 favorable trade agreements under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada deal. 136 00:11:05,180 --> 00:11:10,200 The move reflects China's growing presence in the global electric vehicle market and poses 137 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:15,640 a competitive challenge to U.S. and other international automakers. 138 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:21,720 Despite potential political risks, this strategic shift illustrates the dynamic and increasingly 139 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:29,720 global nature of the EV industry. 140 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,440 And in entertainment news. 141 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:38,760 At the 2024 Keaple's Choice Awards, Lenny Kravitz, now 59, was honored with the Music 142 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,280 Icon Award. 143 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:47,000 In his acceptance speech, he reflected on his unique journey in the music industry. 144 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,960 Kravitz emphasized staying true to himself. 145 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:55,120 Despite industry pressures to conform, he turned down early offers that demanded he 146 00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:01,040 change his musical style, which didn't fit conventional categories. 147 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:07,280 His success, a result of his authenticity and faith, spans over 35 years and includes 148 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,280 four Grammy wins. 149 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:16,120 Kravitz's mantra, Never Follow the Trends, highlights his commitment to originality. 150 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:21,340 He also expressed gratitude to his parents and performed a medley of hits, demonstrating 151 00:12:21,340 --> 00:12:24,720 his enduring impact on music. 152 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:32,180 This recognition comes shortly after his nomination for the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, solidifying 153 00:12:32,180 --> 00:12:37,480 his status as a true icon in the music world. 154 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,520 Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 155 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,640 And today, our quote comes from Lenny himself. 156 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,560 The legendary frontman said, 157 00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:52,000 I am not trying to change the world. 158 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,720 I am just offering my gift that God gave me. 159 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,960 And if somebody is moved by it, that's beautiful. 160 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,240 And that's a wrap for this morning. 161 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,560 Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates. 162 00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:33,920 Have an amazing day my good friends.
