Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Thursday, June 20th.
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 121 years ago, today in 1903.
Barney Oldfield, known as the Speed King, became a legend and made history by driving
the first gas-powered car to 60 miles per hour, achieving the first mile per minute
speed.
Oldfield's sterling races, often in Henry Ford's 999, captivated audiences with their
danger and excitement.
Despite the risks, he dominated the racing scene for a decade, setting numerous records
and becoming a symbol of the car-crazy era.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
Expect easing surf through Friday, with waist-high waves at average breaks, chest-high in South
County and shoulder-high at standout spots.
Things will have light and variable or weak onshore wind, trending to light to moderate
southwest wind in the afternoon.
Short period northwest wind swell will bring knee-to-thigh-high surf, with waist-high at
standout spots.
Conditions will be clean to fair early, with afternoon light crumble, Thursday at Tourmaline
and South San Diego.
It's looking clean to fair at 2 to 3 feet until noon.

In local news, Manny Machado's 2024 season raises concerns, especially given his current
statistics.
He's got a 250 batting average, 303 on-base percentage, 361 slugging, and only 6 home
runs in 70 games.
His struggles at the plate, highlighted by increased swing and miss rates, stem from
lingering issues with his elbow.
Machado acknowledges that his swing isn't where it needs to be.
While he remains determined to improve, fans and analysts are right to worry about his
performance this season, even though he might recover fully by next year.
Now on to sports.
Charlie Woods, son of Tiger Woods, qualified for the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship after
finishing first at a qualifier in Coral Springs, Florida with a 1 under 71.
Overcoming a challenging start, Charlie finished strong, securing his spot among four golfers.
Expressing his excitement, Trotty looks forward to competing at the historic Oakland Hills.
Playing in his father's footsteps, he joins a prestigious field and a significant achievement
for any 15-year-old golfer.
The U.S. Junior Amateur will take place from July 22nd to 27th at Oakland Hills Country
Club.
In local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Phillies 5-2.
And tonight, the Padres are at home to take on the Brewers.
In top news, for over 180 years, carbohydrates have been misunderstood and often feared.
Nutritionist Catherine Metzalar notes that many men experience guilt over eating carbs.
Historically, carbs have been unfairly blamed for various health issues, from obesity to
diabetes.
However, recent research reveals their importance for a long, healthy life.
Avoiding carbs can be harmful, linking low-carb diets to increased cardiovascular risks.
Understanding the diverse types of carbohydrates, their nutritional value, and avoiding overgeneralization
is key to appreciating their role in a balanced diet.
In business news, Nvidia has recently become the world's most valuable company, surpassing
Microsoft thanks to a surge in its share price driven by the boom in artificial intelligence.
The company, known for its advanced chips essential for AI and data centers, has seen
its value grow dramatically, with a 3,000% increase over the past five years.
Investors are drawn to Nvidia due to its impressive financial performance, such as a first quarter
revenue of $26 billion and its crucial role in AI development.
However, investing now poses risks.
Nvidia's share price is at an all-time high, and there's pressure for continuous exceptional
performance.
Moreover, potential regulatory issues and energy concerns related to AI could affect
its future growth.
Investing in Nvidia could be rewarding, but it's essential to consider the risks of buying
at a market peak.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $65,000, Ethereum is $3,500, and Solana is $134.

Let's talk tech.
Apple Intelligence, set to launch with iOS 18, promises to revolutionize how users interact
with their iPhones, Macs, and iPads through advanced AI features.
A recent study identifies the most likely popular use cases for these new tools.
Enhanced text and email composition will benefit from advanced language and writing capabilities,
while creating custom emojis, or Jinmoji, could become a hit among texters.
Additionally, an overhauled Siri will improve web browsing and search, and new photo editing
features will offer seamless, smart editing.
These innovations aim to significantly enhance everyday user experiences.
And in entertainment news.
Sony Pictures Entertainment has acquired Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, the popular theater chain,
known for its dine-in service and unique atmosphere.
Founded in 1997 in Austin, Texas, Alamo Drafthouse has grown to 35 locations across North America.
Sony's acquisition includes the genre film festival, Fantastic Fest.
Alamo Drafthouse founder Tin Lee expressed excitement about the partnership, emphasizing
Sony's respect for cinema.
This move aligns with Sony's broader experiential initiatives and marks a significant development
in the post-paramount consent decrees era, allowing studios to own theaters once again.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the winner of 82 PGA tournaments, Tiger Woods.
And he said,
People don't understand that when I grew up, I was never the most talented.
I was never the biggest.
I was never the fastest.
I certainly was never the strongest.
The only thing I had was my work ethic, and that's been what has gotten me this far.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
with local news and the surf reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends.
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
