1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,800
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:13,160
I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Wednesday, March 20th.

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:18,120
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:23,840
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, tech,

5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,920
and entertainment.

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:33,280
But first, you'll be interested to know, 209 years ago, today, in 1815, marks the beginning

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:39,600
of the Hundred Days, a pivotal chapter in French history with Napoleon Bonaparte's

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:48,680
return to Paris and ending on July 8th, 1815, with King Louis XVIII's re-establishment.

9
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:54,560
This period saw Napoleon's dramatic comeback and an subsequent fall.

10
00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:00,160
Within less than a year after his abdication and the Bourbon Restoration, Napoleon escaped

11
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:08,120
Elba, landing at Cannes with 1,500 men, and swiftly reclaimed Paris.

12
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:13,960
His attempt to solidify power through constitutional reforms gained him unexpected allies, but

13
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:19,360
he united European front and led to his defeat at Waterloo.

14
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,800
By July, Napoleon abdicated again, leading to his exile to Saint Helena, and the Bourbon

15
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:32,100
monarchy was restored once more, with King Louis XVIII's return.

16
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:34,000
So now you know.

17
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,120
And now you know what time it is.

18
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,480
It's time for the surf report.

19
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Starting Wednesday in San Diego, expect me to waste highways, with chest-high sets at

20
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,080
select spots, under light to variable wind.

21
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:58,680
Thursday brings similar conditions with a slight increase in south-southwest swell later

22
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,000
in the week, potentially reaching head-high at focal points.

23
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,160
Wednesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, it's looking good and clean at 3 plus feet,

24
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:16,720
until 11 a.m., then it's fair until 2, with some rough stuff after that from higher wind

25
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,200
and a low tide.

26
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:25,720
Best time to ride is Dawn Patrol with a 4.5 foot high tide, when the west-southwest swell

27
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:32,560
is 1.5 feet at 18 seconds and the southeast wind is 3 mph.

28
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,360
The first high tide Wednesday will be about 5 feet just after 7 a.m., with a minus half

29
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,760
foot low tide just after 2.

30
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,800
The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 62 degrees for the water temperature.

31
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:54,240
Checking out the weather in the San Diego area, this morning it's partly cloudy and

32
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,660
55 degrees, with no wind.

33
00:02:57,660 --> 00:03:03,640
The sunset will take place at 7, and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.50.

34
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:07,520
It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11.

35
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:14,480
Otherwise, mostly sunny with a high near 69 and wind of 5 to 10 mph.

36
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,880
Tonight, mostly cloudy with a low around 53.

37
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:27,480
Looking ahead in the weather, Thursday sees a shift from mostly cloudy to sunny skies,

38
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,320
with temperatures peaking near 69 degrees.

39
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,840
Friday will be mostly sunny, reaching 68, cooling to 54.

40
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:44,320
Saturday offers partly sunny conditions, with a high of 66, dipping to 53 overnight.

41
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:51,880
Sunday introduces a chance of showers, with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 61 degrees.

42
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,280
Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

43
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,920
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Café and Pastries in Encinitas.

44
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:08,520
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this café is a haven

45
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,320
for culinary delights.

46
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:16,940
Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes.

47
00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:22,320
You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.

48
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,800
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

49
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,280
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

50
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:32,760
Any morning sends you.

51
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:40,240
In local news, in Encinitas, speed limits on various roadways, including El Camino Real

52
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,880
and residential areas near schools, are set to be lowered starting this summer.

53
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,160
The move, supported unanimously by City Council members, counts after recent changes in state

54
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,680
law enabling a 5-mile-per-hour reduction in certain conditions.

55
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,800
Specifically, Encinitas will target safety corridor roads with high accident rates in

56
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:09,160
roads frequented by bicyclists and pedestrians, particularly those near schools.

57
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:15,420
This adjustment aligns with Assembly Bill 43, passed in 2021, allowing for more flexible

58
00:05:15,420 --> 00:05:25,480
speed limit enforcement to enhance safety.

59
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,480
Now onto sports.

60
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:34,520
The Weidner Seahawks clinched a thrilling 71-68 victory over the Howard Bison in Dayton,

61
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:41,160
Ohio, securing their place in the NCAA Tournament's first four.

62
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,080
Despite Howard's late-game rally, Weidner, marking its first tournament appearance since

63
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:53,120
2003, will now face the number one seed North Carolina Tar Heels.

64
00:05:53,120 --> 00:06:01,160
Weidner's junior guard Melvin Council Jr. was the standout player, scoring 21 points.

65
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,600
The Seahawks demonstrated superior offensive efficiency, significantly outshooting the

66
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,480
Bison.

67
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:14,120
After leading by a significant margin in the first half, Weidner withstood a late 14-4

68
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,960
run by Howard, who narrowly missed a game-tying opportunity.

69
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,160
Weidner's journey to the tournament was hard-earned, winning the Northeast Conference

70
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,200
Championship against Merrimack.

71
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:33,400
The team under coach Donald Copeland has shown resilience and adaptability, overcoming challenges

72
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:39,880
with a lean roster and limited practice resources, signaling an unpredictable yet hopeful run

73
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,240
in the tournament.

74
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:50,360
Last night in national hockey, the Kings at home beat the Blackhawks 6-2, and the Ducks

75
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,720
at home got shut out by the wild 4-0.

76
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:02,560
To negate the NBA, the Clippers are on the road in Portland to take on the Trailblazers.

77
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:09,240
In top news, JetBlue Airways is refining its route strategy, pulling out from Bogota,

78
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:15,200
Quito, Lima, and Kansas City to focus on more profitable routes.

79
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:20,120
This decision comes as the airline navigates limited aircraft availability, partly due

80
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:25,000
to necessary inspections by Pratt & Whitney on some planes.

81
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,800
As part of its operational adjustments, JetBlue will discontinue nine routes from Los Angeles

82
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,600
and five from Fort Lauderdale, not resuming service to Newburgh, New York, which was paused

83
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,860
in 2020.

84
00:07:38,860 --> 00:07:44,800
These moves aim to improve operational efficiency, minimize delays, and boost profitability,

85
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,920
especially after the recent cancellation of a major merger with Spirit Airlines.

86
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,400
JetBlue is eyeing significant savings from cost-cutting measures and fleet modernization,

87
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,380
despite recent financial losses, and plans to share more about its strategic direction

88
00:08:01,380 --> 00:08:04,340
on May 30.

89
00:08:04,340 --> 00:08:10,600
In business news, Chipotle Mexican Grill is considering a significant change to its stock

90
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:17,480
structure with a proposed 50-for-1 stock split, marking a first in the company's 30-year

91
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,480
history.

92
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,440
This strategic move, aimed at making Chipotle's shares more accessible to employees and a

93
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:29,120
wider investor base, will be up for shareholder vote on June 6.

94
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:38,320
With the company's stock price soaring to $2,797, up 22% since the start of the year

95
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,360
and 74% over the past 12 months, this split could lower the per share price to around

96
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,640
$56, based on recent closing figures.

97
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:55,000
Currently, with about 27 million shares outstanding, approval of the split would mean investors

98
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,120
receive 49 additional shares for each share they own, significantly increasing the total

99
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,020
share count.

100
00:09:03,020 --> 00:09:08,200
The proposed adjustment aims to enhance trading liquidity and broaden ownership if it proceeds

101
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:15,120
as planned, with the post-split shares set to begin trading on June 26.

102
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:21,360
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is as falling to just under $61,000.

103
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,520
Ethereum is at $3,100.

104
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:30,360
And Solana is $168.

105
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,780
Moving on to a more local vibe.

106
00:09:33,780 --> 00:09:39,780
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

107
00:09:39,780 --> 00:09:44,160
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

108
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area.

109
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,440
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing

110
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,800
tension and elevating mental well-being.

111
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,200
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

112
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:08,560
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

113
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:13,860
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla and more.

114
00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:18,020
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

115
00:10:18,020 --> 00:10:22,080
And now back to the show.

116
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,880
Let's talk tech.

117
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,840
Microsoft's decision to bring inflection AI steam into its fold represents a pivotal

118
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,880
and innovative maneuver in the AI sector.

119
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:39,320
Rather than a traditional acquisition, this move allows Microsoft to integrate top AI

120
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:45,900
talent, including Mustafa Suleyman, at a critical juncture for AI development.

121
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:51,780
The arrangement, which avoids equity stakes and IP transfers, navigates the complex regulatory

122
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:59,600
environment surrounding tech giants, highlighting a strategic adaptation to antitrust scrutiny.

123
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:05,800
This unique partnership could diversify Microsoft's AI capabilities, potentially influencing its

124
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:12,960
partnership with open AI and signaling a broader strategy to secure a leading position in AI

125
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,680
innovation.

126
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:20,860
The shift also reflects on the evolving landscape of AI technologies, moving from consumer-focused

127
00:11:20,860 --> 00:11:27,560
chatbots to more specialized business applications, illustrating the dynamic nature of AI development

128
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:33,960
and market demands.

129
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:40,100
And in entertainment news, rumors are swirling about Aaron Taylor Johnson potentially taking

130
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:45,880
on the iconic role of James Bond, following Daniel Craig's departure.

131
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:51,600
Despite a report from The Sun suggesting they have chosen Taylor Johnson, the BBC has cited

132
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,320
sources denying any truth to these claims.

133
00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:01,440
The discussion has sparked a mix of excitement and skepticism among fans, especially considering

134
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:06,680
the ongoing debate about the future direction of the Bond character.

135
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:12,560
Taylor Johnson, known for his roles in films like Nowhere Boy and Bullet Train, has expressed

136
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:15,640
gratitude for the public's support.

137
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:21,800
The final decision on who will become the next 007 remains a hot topic, capturing the

138
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,360
imagination of audiences worldwide.

139
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,480
Well alrighty folks, it's time to ski-daddle.

140
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:35,120
We'll catch you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.

141
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,120
Thanks for tuning in.

142
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:46,180
I'm Chrisyle.
