1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000 I'm your host Melissa and it's Thursday, July 11th. 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000 Today is free Slurpee Day, offering a sweet way to beat the heat. 5 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:28,000 7-Eleven started this tradition in 2002, but the Slurpee dates back to the late 1950s. 6 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:38,000 With over 300 flavors, ranging from vanilla and 7-E lemon, to Warhead and lychee, there is something for everyone. 7 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:47,000 Omar Nedlich invented the Slurpee, originally called Icy, after a soda fountain breakdown led to frozen sodas. 8 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000 In 1965, 7-Eleven licensed the Icy, renaming it. 9 00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:01,000 On July 11th, 2002, 7-Eleven celebrated its 75th birthday with the first free Slurpee Day. 10 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000 So now you know. 11 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,000 And now, it's time for the Surf Report. 12 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:22,000 Expect knee-to-thigh high waves Thursday with semi-glassy conditions and light onshore wind early, turning semi-bumpy, with 5-10 mph wind later. 13 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:36,000 Friday will have knee-high waves with occasional thigh-high sets, glassy conditions early and semi-choppy in the afternoon, as winds shift onshore at 5-10 mph. 14 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:46,000 This weekend, expect knee-to-thigh high waves with semi-choppy conditions and stronger onshore wind up to 15 mph. 15 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000 Thursday at Tourmaline and South San Diego. 16 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000 It's looking mostly fair throughout the day at 2 plus feet until 1. 17 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000 After that, it's looking pretty choppy until sunset. 18 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:14,000 Best time to ride is at 11 a.m. with a 2.5-foot incoming tide when the west-southwest swell is 1.5 feet at 12 seconds and the onshore wind is 6 mph. 19 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:25,000 The first low tide Thursday will be 1 foot at 7.30 a.m. with a 4-foot high tide at 2.30 p.m. 20 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,000 This morning it's foggy and feels like 68 degrees with 2 mph wind. 21 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,000 The sunset will take place at 7.58 and it will rise again tomorrow at 5.50. 22 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000 It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 a.m. 23 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Otherwise cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny with a high near 79 in wind at 5-10 mph. 24 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Tonight, it'll be cloudy with a low around 66. 25 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000 Looking ahead in the weather. 26 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:10,000 Friday will be cloudy in the morning clearing up to mostly sunny with a high near 77 after morning fog clears. 27 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000 This weekend will be mostly sunny with

00:03:52,000 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 34 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 35 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 36 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000 Sunny mornings send you. 37 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:10,000 In local news, pets lost over July 4th weekend are now up for adoption. 38 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Beginning this week, animals that ended up in Humane Society shelters might be available if not reclaimed. 39 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:28,000 On Saturday, 810 dogs were held in San Diego Humane Society shelters, exceeding the 358 kennel spaces. 40 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:37,000 From Thursday through Sunday, 316 stray animals were brought in, with only 82 reclaimed by Monday. 41 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:44,000 After a 72-hour hold, pets that are spayed, neutered, and examined could be up for adoption. 42 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:53,000 For updates, visit the Humane Society's website or campuses. 43 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Now onto sports. 44 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:03,000 Steph Curry recently opened up about Klay Thompson's challenging departure from the Golden State Warriors. 45 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:10,000 On June 28th, one day before NBA free agency, Thompson called Curry to share the news. 46 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Curry reflected, you never think you'd ever have that conversation. 47 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:22,000 Despite their efforts, Thompson chose to join the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $50 million deal. 48 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000 Curry emphasized, I just want him to be happy. 49 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,000 Thompson's decision came after years of struggle with injuries and contract disputes. 50 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:39,000 Curry remains hopeful that this fresh start will read Knight Thompson's passion for the game. 51 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:46,000 In local sports, the Padres at home beat the Mariners 2-0. 52 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:54,000 Tonight they're off and back at Petco on Friday night to start a three-game series with the Braves. 53 00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:06,000 In top news, Lone Star ticks, known for the distinctive white splotch on adult females, are spreading across the United States, posing serious health threats. 54 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:17,000 These ticks are aggressive and can transmit diseases like Ehrlichiosis and Tularenia, as well as trigger a rare meat allergy called Alpha Gal syndrome. 55 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Originally found in the southeastern United States, they are now common in northern states and even parts of Canada. 56 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Experts recommend precautions such as using insect repellent, wearing permethrin-treated clothing, and performing regular tick checks to protect against these increasingly prevalent pests. 57 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:50,000 In business news, Tesla's explosive stock surge is proving to be a major win for investors at a sizable blow for some hedge funds. 58 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:59,000 Roughly 18% of the more than 500 hedge funds had taken a short position on the stock by the end of last month. 59 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000 This is the highest percentage in more than a year, up from less than 15% in March. 60 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:18,000 Tesla had been one of the worst performers in the S and P500, but recent support for CEO Elon Musk's $56 billion compensation package has turned things around. 61 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:28,000 Investors were ecstatic when Tesla delivered just shy of 444,000 electric vehicles, surpassing Wall Street's lowered estimates. 62 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,000 Tesla's stock hit a six-month high, raising the bar for second-quarter results. 63 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:45,000 While analysts forecast greater highs, hedge funds remain wary due to Tesla's recent issues and the potential ramifications of the U.S. presidential election. 64 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:59,000 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $58,000, Ethereum is just under $3,100, and Solana is $140. 65 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000 Moving on to a more local vibe. 66 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Our community spotlight on health and wellness. 67 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:13,000 We are working with a national Pilates studio to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 68 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,000 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area. 69 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:27,000 Pilates

study reveals that hippos can get airborne, even if briefly. 76 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:06,000 Researchers found that when trotting at full speed, a hippo can lift all four hooves off the ground for 0.3 seconds. 77 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:13,000 This finding shows that hippos exhibit relatively greater athletic capacity than elephants. 78 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:21,000 The study conducted by the Royal Veterinary College in the United Kingdom recorded hippos at various speeds. 79 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:29,000 They discovered that these massive animals get completely airborne up to 15% of the time at top speed. 80 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:36,000 This research offers new insights into the movement of large males. 81 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:46,000 And in entertainment news, get ready for more withering glances from Miranda Priestly, as Disney develops a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. 82 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:56,000 The original film's screenwriter, Aline Brosch McKenna, known for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and Your Place or Mine is in talks to return. 83 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:08,000 The storyline sees Priestly navigating her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing, clashing with Emily Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive. 84 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:22,000 The 2006 hit film, starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt, earned $326.7 million worldwide and garnered critical acclaim. 85 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 86 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,000 And today, our quote comes from the great American chef, Julia Child. 87 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000 And she said, This is my invariable advice to people. 88 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000 Learn how to cook. 89 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Try new recipes. 90 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000 Learn from your mistakes. 91 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000 Be fearless. 92 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000 And above all, have fun. 93 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000 And that's a wrap for this morning. 94 00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:01,000 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with local news and the surf reports. 95 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 96 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:32,000 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
