1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,880 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego. 2 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:13,000 I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, August 27th. 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,200 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:23,040 One hundred and sixty-five years ago, today, in 1859, Edwin Laurentine Drake struck oil 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,880 while drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania, becoming the first driller of a productive 6 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,960 oil well in the United States. 7 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,840 This groundbreaking achievement marked the beginning of the modern petroleum industry, 8 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:43,360 revolutionizing energy production and contributing significantly to industrial progress. 9 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,440 So now you know. 10 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,600 And now it's time for the Surf Report. 11 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,800 Expect knee-high swell throughout the week. 12 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,920 On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings, conditions will be glassy with light, 13 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:06,160 offshore winds, becoming semi-choppy in the afternoons with onshore winds. 14 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,540 Tuesday afternoon we'll see waist-high sets. 15 00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:14,240 The rest of the week will feature occasional thigh-high sets. 16 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,640 Tuesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego. 17 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:23,360 It's looking clean to fare in the morning until noon at two to three feet. 18 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:29,360 And it gets a little choppy midday, but might ease up for a fair sunset session. 19 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:36,760 Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with the 3-1⁄2-foot high tide when the north-northwest swell 20 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:42,960 is 1-1⁄2 feet at 14 seconds and the variable wind is 3 miles per hour. 21 00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:53,340 The first

00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:07,040 The sunset will take place at 7 a.m. and it will rise again tomorrow at 6 a.m. 24 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,700 It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 a.m. this morning, clearing up to 25 00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:19,880 reveal mostly sunny skies with temperatures near 79 and a gentle northwest breeze. 26 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:29,480 Tonight expect patchy fog after 11 mostly cloudy skies with a low of 65. 27 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:35,120 Looking ahead in the weather, expect patchy fog each morning through Saturday, gradually 28 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,920 clearing by mid-morning. 29 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:43,360 Daytime highs will be in the upper 70s with light west winds. 30 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:51,040 Nights will be cloudy with lows in the mid-60s and fog returning late. 31 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:59,880 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 32 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:04,840 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in

Sunny mornings send you. 40 00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:42,240 In local news, Kroger and Albertsons are heading to court to defend their planned merger and 41 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,200 the sale of 63 stores in California. 42 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,720 This proposed merger, announced in October 2022, would be the largest supermarket merger 43 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,360 in United States history. 44 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,200 The companies argue that merging will help reduce costs and compete with Walmart and 45 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,200 Costco. 46 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:06,840 However, the Federal Trade Commission is challenging the merger, citing concerns over reduced competition 47 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,540 and higher grocery prices. 48 00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:14,880 The case involves multiple states and will be heard by U.S. District Judge, Adrienne 49 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,760 Nelson in Oregon. 50 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:27,360 Together, Kroger and Albertsons employ around 710,000 people. 51 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,800 Now on to sports. 52 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,240 The NFL Players Association has vetoed a bylaw that would have allowed teams to elevate a 53 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:41,200 bona fide quarterback from the practice squad an unlimited number of times to serve as an 54 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,400 emergency third quarterback on game days. 55 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:52,580 This means the game day emergency third quarterback will function the same as it did in 2023. 56 00:04:52,580 --> 00:04:57,640 The rule proposed by the Buffalo Bills aimed to prevent non-quarterbacks from stepping 57 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:04,160 in during games, as seen in the 2022 NFC Championship game. 58 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:10,760 The NFL Players Association opposed the change, fearing it would allow teams to stash a 54th 59 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,640 player on the practice squad. 60 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:21,440 In local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Cardinals 7-4. 61 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,760 And tonight, they're back at it for game two in St. Louis. 62 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:34,760 In top news, as Dr. Anthony Fauci recovers from West Nile virus, questions are rising 63 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,640 about the illness, including its contraction, symptoms, and prevention. 64 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:46,160 Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CBS 65 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,560 News that he expects to fully recover at home after being hospitalized for days. 66 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:59,920 The West Nile virus, primarily spread by mosquitoes, causes flu-like symptoms such as nausea, aches, 67 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,520 vomiting, fever, and chills. 68 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:09,680 Less than one in 150 infections lead to serious complications, affecting the central nervous 69 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,480 system. 70 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:17,160 Protect yourself by wearing appropriate clothing, using insect repellent, and eliminating standing 71 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,960 water. 72 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:27,120 In business news, Canada is imposing significant tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles 73 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:34,120 and steel and aluminum products to protect its growing domestic electric vehicle industry. 74 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:40,240 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a 100 percent tariff on Chinese-made electric 75 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:46,280 vehicles and a 25 percent tariff on steel and aluminum products from China, effective 76 00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:48,760 in early October. 77 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,840 Who follows discussions with President Joe Biden's national security adviser and aims 78 00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:58,240 to counter China's unfair trade practices? 79 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,080 Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland emphasized that the tariffs would not hinder Canada's 80 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,480 mandate for zero-emission vehicles by 2035. 81 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:15,080 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $63,200. 82

revolution. 98 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:35,080 The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that theoretical annual energy from 99 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,780 U.S. coastal waves is 2 trillion kilowatt hours. 100 00:08:39,780 --> 00:08:46,520 Wave energy could account for up to 20 percent of the U.S. renewable energy mix. 101 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,560 Companies like Sea Power are developing devices to harness this power. 102 00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:57,200 PacWave in Newport, Oregon will be the first wave energy testing facility in the continental 103 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,120 U.S., aiming to revolutionize ocean energy. 104 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,080 Entertainment news. 105 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:11,520 Glenn Powell is set to star in a new Wooloo series,

00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:06,240 In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive 117 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,120 military conflicts. 118 00:10:08,120 -->
