Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Wednesday, August 7th.
You'll be interested to know.
Forty-six years ago, today in 1978, President Jimmy Carter declared a federal health emergency
in Love Canal, a neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York, following the leakage of toxic chemicals
buried under the community.
This catastrophic event was recognized as the worst environmental disaster involving
chemical wastes in the history of the United States.
So now you know.
And now it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect a mix of knee-to-thigh-high waves from the southwest on Wednesday, becoming
waist-high with occasional chest-high sets from the south-southwest on Thursday.
Mornings will be semi-glassy with light onshore winds less than 5 miles per hour.
Afternoons will turn semi-choppy with winds shifting south-southwest 5 to 10 miles per

By Friday, swells will peak at chest-to-shoulder high, fading in the afternoon.
Saturday, expect knee-high swells with occasional waist-high sets.

In local news, Karl Strauss Brewing announced on Monday afternoon that it will close its
outpost at San Marcos, an outdoor beer garden opened last fall.
The final day is Sunday.
In 2019, Karl Strauss purchased the two-acre lot at Las Pozas Road and Armour Lake Drive,
but post-pandemic conditions made opening restaurants challenging.
The company tried an outdoor taproom concept, which opened in November 2023.
Vice President Fred Glick stated,
We had hoped to evolve this concept, but the challenges led us to the difficult decision
to end this experiment.
The outpost will offer $5 beers on its closing day.
Bureaus will be eligible for positions at other locations.
Now on to sports.
The New England Patriots are at the heart of speculation regarding a potential trade
for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Iyuk.
For the entire offseason, the Patriots have shown significant interest in acquiring a
top receiver.
Linebacker Gerard Mayo commented on the rumors, neither confirming nor denying the trade's
progress.
The Patriots are highly motivated, especially after missing out on Calvin Ridley.
With Iyuk catching 75, passes for 1,342 yards, and seven touchdowns last season, the Patriots
hope to secure him, potentially making him one of the highest paid receivers in the league.
In local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Pirates 6-0 after a weather delay.
And tonight, they're back at it for game two of the three-game series with Pittsburgh.
In top news, dog owners are facing new challenges due to updated travel rules from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
As of August 1, new regulations have taken effect to prevent the reintroduction of rabies
into the United States.
Dogs must be over six months old, microchipped, and have proper documentation.
Travelers from high-risk countries must follow stricter protocols, including entering through
designated animal care facilities at six major airports.
Animal precautions, such as a 28-day quarantine or a blood test, may apply.
These rules align with the World Organization for Animal Health Standards, aiming to reduce
fraudulent documentation and control rabies.
In business news, Airbnb forecasts lower third-quarter revenue due to economic worries, prompting
last-minute bookings.
Shares fell by 15 percent.
Domestic travel in the United States has declined since the start of the year, as Americans
broke cautious about spending.

Expected third-quarter revenue is between $3,670,000,000 and $3,730,000,000 below the
estimate.

Second-quarter revenue was $2,750,000,000.

And now, back to the show.
Let's talk tech.
Apple's upcoming MaxOS Sequoia will bring a significant change for users of screenshot
and screen recording apps.
Starting this fall, these apps will require weekly permission prompts, as well as prompts
after each re-do.
This means users will need to explicitly allow access to their screens and audio more frequently.
While some initially thought this was a bug, Apple has confirmed it is a deliberate feature.
This update will impact various third-party apps, including CleanShot X, Discord, Zoom,
and Slack.
Developers can adopt special API to avoid these prompts, though it is not compatible
with most current apps.
And in entertainment news.
Zac Efron experienced a minor swimming incident while vacationing with friends in Ibiza, Spain,
leading to his hospitalization.
The actor, aged 36, ingested water into his lungs after hitting the bottom of a pool.
Villa security assisted in pulling him out of the water.
Efron, who was momentarily dazed, was taken to the hospital as a precaution, where x-rays
confirmed his lungs were clear.
He waited at the hospital until paparazzi left.
Efron assured fans he is happy and healthy.
His latest film, A Family Affair, was released on Netflix in June.
Well, alrighty, folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American politician and the 39th President of the United
States, Jimmy Carter.
And he said, America did not invent human rights.
In a very real sense, human rights invented America.
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.
