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 --> 00:00:11,600
I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, April 16th.

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,440
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,680
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,760
and entertainment.

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:30,840
At first, you'll be interested to know, 21 years ago, today, in 2003.

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,840
At age 40, Michael Jordan, widely regarded as the best player in the history of basketball,

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,800
played his last game in the NBA.

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:46,320
He finished with six championships, six NBA Finals, MVP trophies, and was league MVP in

10
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,920
five separate seasons.

11
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,800
So now you know.

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,640
And now you know what time it is.

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,720
It's time for the surf report.

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:05,200
Expect a fresh south-southwest swell to roll in, with good southerly exposures going waist

15
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:11,160
to stomach high in the morning, then chest to shoulder high later in the day.

16
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,200
Tuesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego.

17
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,480
It's looking good and clean at 3 to 5 feet until 9, then fair until 1.

18
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,440
After that, the chop rolls in.

19
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:32,400
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a 2.5 foot outgoing tide when the southeast swell

20
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,640
is 2 feet at 18 seconds and the offshore wind is 2 mile per hour.

21
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,880
The first high tide Tuesday will be 4 feet just after 4.30 a.m. with a 0 foot low tide

22
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,880
at noon.

23
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:54,200
The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 60 degrees for the water temperature.

24
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,960
Checking out the weather in the San Diego area.

25
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:05,360
This morning it's partly cloudy and feels like 54 degrees with 2 mile per hour wind.

26
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:12,080
The sunset will take place at 7.19 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.15.

27
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,600
It looks like we're in for a sunny day with a high near 71 and wind of 5 to 10 mile per

28
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,080
hour with gusts as high as 20.

29
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:30,360
Tonight patchy fog after 11, otherwise partly cloudy with a low around 54.

30
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,720
Looking ahead in the weather.

31
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:40,440
Wednesday will be mostly sunny with a high near 72 degrees after morning fog clears.

32
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,760
Patchy fog returns overnight with increasing clouds and a low around 56.

33
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:53,000
Thursday starts foggy then turns partly sunny with a high near 69.

34
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,120
Friday will be cloudy in the morning then will gradually become mostly sunny with a

35
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,920
high near 67.

36
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:03,440
Bonjour, food enthusiasts.

37
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,440
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

38
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:15,560
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven

39
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,320
for culinary delights.

40
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:23,920
Indulge in their amazing eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes.

41
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:28,680
You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.

42
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,680
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

43
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,120
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

44
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,480
Any morning, send you.

45
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:46,200
In local news, San Diego County residents and businesses, having granted an extended

46
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:54,040
deadline to file their taxes this year, now do on June 17th instead of April 15th.

47
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,640
This extension is in response to the severe storms and flooding that occurred in late

48
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,640
January.

49
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:07,920
It applies automatically to those in designated disaster areas and covers various tax obligations,

50
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:14,040
including individual income tax returns, IRA and health savings account contributions,

51
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,960
and estimated tax payments for 2024.

52
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,840
Those requiring further time beyond the new June deadline are advised to apply for an

53
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:25,360
additional extension.

54
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:36,120
For further details, visit the IRS website or your local tax authority website.

55
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,240
Now on to sports.

56
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,200
In recent years, Major League Baseball has faced numerous challenges, not least of which

57
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,680
concern the very tools of the game, the baseballs and uniforms.

58
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,160
Since MLB's purchase of the baseball manufacturer Rawlings, there have been ongoing issues with

59
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,480
the baseballs, complicating things further.

60
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,560
Players like Kenley Jansen and Pete Fairbanks have voiced significant frustrations over

61
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,800
the quality of the baseballs, specifically grip problems that differ from past complaints

62
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,820
about the balls being overly juiced.

63
00:05:13,820 --> 00:05:19,500
These grip issues, persisting since the acquisition, are impacting pitchers' ability to perform

64
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:26,480
consistently and safely, a stark shift from 2022, when the main concerns were aerodynamic

65
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,720
changes due to manufacturing inconsistencies.

66
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:36,360
Additionally, MLB players are contending with new uniform issues.

67
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,320
This season's uniforms, produced by Nike and Fanatics, are lighter, but have raised

68
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:48,440
eyed rows due to their see-through fabric, leading to discomfort and a lack of practicality.

69
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,720
Both these issues with the baseballs and uniforms underscore a growing concern about the attention

70
00:05:53,720 --> 00:06:01,240
to detail and quality control in MLB, affecting both the integrity of the sport and the athlete's

71
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,240
performance.

72
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:12,480
Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Brewers 7-3, and in national

73
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,720
hockey, the Kings at home beat the Wilds 3-1.

74
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:24,320
Tonight, the Padres are on to game two against the Brewers, and the Lakers are on the road

75
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,280
in New Orleans to take on the Pelicans.

76
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:35,160
In top news, around the world, some of the most remarkable architectural wonders are

77
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:41,200
at risk, necessitating urgent conservation efforts to prevent their demise.

78
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:49,240
In Bologna, Italy, the 157-foot Torre Garacenda, a 12th century structure with a notable lean,

79
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:55,880
is receiving intervention, using techniques that stabilized the leaning tower of Pisa.

80
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:02,240
Similarly, England's Hearst Castle is under reinforcement due to erosion from relentless

81
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:08,040
sea waves, while Egypt's ancient site of Abydos faces threats from looting, prompting

82
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,060
heightened security and preservation efforts.

83
00:07:12,060 --> 00:07:17,520
In Western Australia, the expansive rock art site of Miradjuga is battling pollution from

84
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:23,040
nearby industrial activities, even as it gains some protection through expansion into the

85
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,440
national park.

86
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,800
Teotihuacan in Mexico, overwhelmed by the impacts of overtourism and environmental wear,

87
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:37,640
is seeing initiatives for sustainable tourism and structural preservation.

88
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,980
Each of these sites showcases the global challenge of preserving historical legacies against

89
00:07:42,980 --> 00:07:48,960
modern threats, underscoring the crucial role of conservation in maintaining our cultural

90
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,700
heritage.

91
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:58,440
In business news, Tigerwood's choice in putters has sparked not just a trend, but an asset

92
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,080
class among golf enthusiasts.

93
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:08,120
Scotty Cameron's custom clubs, especially the Tour putters known as Circle T's, command

94
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:15,280
hefty prices, with values stretching from $2,000 to $8,000 per club, and can resell

95
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,400
for much more.

96
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,600
This fervor isn't limited to the clubs.

97
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,880
Associated merchandise, like head covers, can also fetch high prices, reflecting the

98
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:30,680
putter's status as both functional sports equipment and collectible art pieces.

99
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:36,360
Cameron's designs, which have been wielded by pros like Woods and Brooks' Copca, carry

100
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,400
a mystique enhanced by their aesthetic appeal and rarity, fueling a collector's market

101
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,240
akin to luxury brands.

102
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:50,480
The Allure is so potent that even a backup putter made for Woods fetched nearly $400,000

103
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,160
at auction.

104
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:57,300
With such high stakes, these putters are seen not just as sports tools, but as investments

105
00:08:57,300 --> 00:09:04,580
and art, bridging the gap between athleticism and craftsmanship in the golfing world.

106
00:09:04,580 --> 00:09:10,360
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $63,000.

107
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,440
Ethereum is at $3,000.

108
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:19,320
And Solana is $134.

109
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,640
Moving on to a more local vibe.

110
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:28,580
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

111
00:09:28,580 --> 00:09:32,920
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

112
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:38,200
Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area.

113
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,960
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

114
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,440
and elevating mental well-being.

115
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,760
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

116
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:57,080
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

117
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

118
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,440
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

119
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,160
And now back to the show.

120
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,120
Let's talk science.

121
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:17,840
Top astronomers are gathering at London's Royal Society to critically reassess long-standing

122
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:24,000
cosmological theories, including the centriole belief that the universe expands at a constant

123
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,600
rate.

124
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,840
Spearheaded by Oxford cosmologist Suvar Sarkar, this revaluation comes amid growing evidence

125
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:38,560
suggesting the universe may be expanding unevenly, a phenomenon that could fundamentally alter

126
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:41,800
our understanding of cosmic dynamics.

127
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:49,160
Sarkar's research into over a million quasars indicates a possible lopsided universe, challenging

128
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:55,940
the conventional role of dark energy and the uniformity assumed in the cosmological constant.

129
00:10:55,940 --> 00:11:01,160
This paradigm shift could reshape physics, prompting a thorough review of what we perceive

130
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,160
as the fabric of the universe.

131
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:13,200
And in entertainment news, Chris Hemsworth's attempt to star in Kevin Costner's new directorial

132
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:20,160
project was unsuccessful as Costner decided to take on the lead role himself.

133
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,920
The movie, described as an abstract and interesting love story involving a horse wrangler, drew

134
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:31,960
Hemsworth's interest, partly due to his own fondness for horses.

135
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,240
Despite Hemsworth's efforts and interest, Costner, feeling he was still fit for the

136
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:42,920
role, chose to cast himself, suggesting Hemsworth look for another project.

137
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:48,440
This undisclosed film is separate from Costner's current work on his western epic Horizon,

138
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,240
which involves multiple installments and a broad and sumble cast.

139
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:59,280
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

140
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,320
And today, our quote comes from Michael Jordan.

141
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,080
And number 24 said,

142
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,040
Some people want it to happen.

143
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,080
Some wish it would happen.

144
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,480
And others make it happen.

145
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,080
And that's a wrap for this morning.

146
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:23,260
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

147
00:12:23,260 --> 00:12:25,600
with local news and the surf reports.

148
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,480
Have an amazing day, my good friends.

149
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,160
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
