Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Wednesday, April 24th.
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science
and entertainment.
But first, you'll be interested to know 224 years ago, today in 1800.
The Library of Congress was officially founded as U.S. President John Adams approved the
$5,000 appropriated to acquire quote, such books as may be necessary for the use of Congress.
It eventually became the largest library in the world.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
Expect a mix of old South Southwest swell leftovers and longer period energy from a new
similarly sized pulse on Wednesday with waist to stomach and occasional chest high surf
at average summer breaks and shoulder high at good spots.
Summer magnets of South County San Diego push shoulder to head high.
Lamering onshore flow is expected early, lightning mid-morning before rebuilding in the afternoon.

In local news, Southern Californians can anticipate a two-hour high-speed train journey to Las
Vegas starting in 2028 as part of a $12 billion initiative by Brightline.
This ambitious project promises to connect vibrant regions, reduce pollution, and herald
the era of high-speed rail in the U.S.
The federally subsidized electric rail system will span 218 miles, aiming to reduce annual
carbon emissions by 800 million pounds.
Brightline also envisions this route as America's first private high-speed rail service, significantly
contrasting with other slower-progressing rail projects in the state.
Now on to sports.
Blaming referees for game outcomes is often seen as a poor excuse for performance issues,
particularly highlighted by recent NBA games involving the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia
76ers, and the excuses are piling up.
The Lakers, facing off against the Denver Nuggets, cited refereeing decisions as significant
in their narrow loss, despite multiple opportunities to secure the game.
Such claims by teams often reflect frustration but might undermine their focus and morale
in ongoing competitions.
This perspective was echoed by Lakers head coach Darvin Hamm emphasizing readiness to
play regardless of refereeing.
Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Rockies 7-4, and the
Clippers at home lost to the Mavericks in game 2, 96-93.
The series is now tied 1-1 and heads back to Dallas for game 3 on Friday.
Tonight, the Padres remain on the road in Colorado to take on the Rockies, and the Kings
are on the road in Edmonton for game 2 to skate with the Oilers.
In top news, X, formerly known as Twitter, is set to launch a TV app for video content.
Developed by CEO Linda Jacarino, the app aims to deliver real-time, engaging content on
smart TVs, featuring an interface similar to YouTube's.
It will include a trending video algorithm to curate popular content and AI-powered topics
for video organization.
Additionally, the app will support cross-device viewing, allowing seamless transitions from
smartphones to TVs.
While no specific release date was provided, Jacarino indicated that the app would be available
soon on most smart TVs.
This move is part of a broader strategy to transform the platform into a free speech,
video-first media outlet.
In business news, Oracle is relocating its headquarters to Nashville, Tennessee, a strategic
move aimed at enhancing its integration with the healthcare industry.
Developed by CEO Larry Ellison during a live-streamed event, the decision aligns with the company's
significant investment in healthcare, including the nearly $30 billion acquisition of Cerner
in 2021.
Nashville, a burgeoning hub for healthcare, offers Oracle proximity to key industry players.
This relocation marks another significant shift for Oracle, which moved its headquarters
from California to Austin in 2020 as part of a strategy to adopt a more flexible workforce
approach.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $67,000.
Ethereum is just over $3,200.
And Solana is $158.
Moving on to a more local vibe.

And now back to the show.
Let's talk science.
Scientists have developed a new model to explain the mysterious heart-shaped feature on Pluto
known as Tombow Regio.
This model suggests that an impact from a celestial object, possibly up to 400 miles
in diameter, hit Pluto's icy surface, creating the Sputnik Planitia basin.
The impact involving a mixture of ice and rock left a permanent indentation due to Pluto's
extremely cold temperatures, which prevent the ice from melting.
This research, leveraging advanced simulation tools and data from the 2015 New Horizons
mission, offers significant insights into Pluto's geology and its dynamic processes
beneath the surface.
And in entertainment news, Quentin Tarantino's much-anticipated 10th film, The Movie Critic,
was poised to be a grand farewell, blending elements from his cinematic universe.
This final project was envisioned as a Tarantino goodbye metaverse, potentially including characters
and stars from his previous films.
At one point, the film even flirted with being a spinoff of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,
featuring Brad Pitt's character, Cliff Booth.
However, despite various rewrites and casting rumors, including potential involvement from
Tom Cruise and Olivia Wilde, the project remains uncertain.
Tarantino's creative exploration may lead The Movie Critic to join his list of unrealized
projects, leaving fans to wonder what could have been in this ultimate Tarantino crossover.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from Elon Musk.
And the CEO of Twitter said,
Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy.
And Twitter is the digital town square, where matters vital to the future of humanity are
debated.
And that's a wrap for this morning.

Have an amazing day, my good friends.
