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 Tuesday, September 3rd. 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:27,000 Forty-eight years ago, today, in 1976, NASA's robotic spacecraft, Viking 2, landed on Mars after a nearly year-long journey. 5 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:35,000 It began relaying information about the planet's atmosphere and soil, as well as color photographs of the rocky surface. 6 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:45,000 This significant achievement marked a milestone in planetary exploration and contributed greatly to our understanding of Mars. 7 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000 So now you know. 8 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,000 And now, it's time for the Surf Report. 9 00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Expect neat-a-waist high swell early in the week, with waist-to-stomach high sets on Friday. 10 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:10,000 Tuesday through Thursday mornings will be semi-glassy with light, offshore winds becoming semi-choppy in the afternoons with stronger onshore winds. 11 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000 Friday morning will be semi-glassy, turning semi-choppy in the afternoon. 12 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000 Tuesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego. 13 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,000 It's looking clean to fare in the morning until 10 at 2 feet. 14 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000 Then it gets a little choppy midday, but should be rideable for a sunset session. 15 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:45,000 Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a one-and-a-half foot incoming low tide when the northwest swell is one-and-a-half feet at 13 seconds and the onshore wind is three mile per hour. 16 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:55,000 The first high tide Tuesday will be four-and-a-half foot just before 1030 a.m. with a one-and-a-half foot low tide at four. 17 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:03,000 This morning it's cloudy and feels like 66 degrees with eight mile per hour wind. 18 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000 The sunset will take place at 7.09 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.25. 19 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:22,000 It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 this morning, but it'll clear up, leaving us with mostly sunny skies and a high near 82 with a light northwest breeze. 20 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:33,000 Tonight, expect patchy fog after 11 with partly cloudy skies, a low around 69, and calm winds. 21 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000 Looking ahead in the weather. 22 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,000 Expect patchy fog each morning through Saturday clearing by 11 a.m. 23 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000 Days will be mostly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 80s and northwest winds. 24 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:54,000 Nights will be mostly clear with lows around 71 and fog returning late. 25 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 26 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 27 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven for

September 15th. 34 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000 Organized by three friends, two United States citizens and one Mexican, 35 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,000 this one-of-a-kind race starts at Las Americas Premium Outlets in Sandy Sidro 36 00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:00,000 and finishes at the westernmost corner of the U.S.-Mexico border in Playa de Tijuana. 37 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,000 A parallel 10-kilometer race will occur solely on the Tijuana side. 38 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000 The event aims to unite the running communities of both cities. 39 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Now onto sports. 40 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:24,000 A series of posters appeared in Philadelphia on Monday depicting Vice President Kamala Harris in an Eagles helmet, 41 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,000 declaring her the official candidate of the NFL team. 42 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000 However, the Eagles state the posters are counterfeit. 43 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,000 The team is working to remove these misleading political ads. 44 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,000 The green posters, spotted around the city, show Harris holding a football with the phrase, 45 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,000 official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles. 46 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000 The posters appeared at various locations in Philadelphia. 47 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:59,000 An NFL team endorsing a candidate is unusual, as the league promotes a nonpartisan initiative. 48 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000 In local sports. 49 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:11,000 On Saturday, San Diego State opened their season with a dominant 45-14 win over Texas A&M Commerce. 50 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Danny O'Neal threw for 214 yards and two touchdowns, while Marquez Cooper added 73 yards on the ground. 51 00:05:21,000 -->

Miller-Moss led the Trojans with 378 yards passing and a touchdown. 54 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Perron Hudson added 83 yards receiving, and the defense made key stops to seal the win. 55 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:55,000 Last night, the Padres wrapped up their series with a 3-0 win over the Tigers at Petco Park. 56 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Joe Musgrove pitched 5-2 thirds scoreless innings, allowing just four hits. 57 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:09,000 Luis Arreyes delivered a crucial RBI single, and Josh Hader notched his 31st save. 58 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:17,000 The Padres, now 78-61, sit second in the NL West, five games behind the Dodgers. 59 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Tomorrow night, the Padres kick off a new series at Petco against the Tigers. 60 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:34,000 In top news, about 40% of people over 65 with suspected dementia in the United Kingdom are not diagnosed. 61 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,000 Early diagnosis is crucial for accessing specialized support. 62 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:48,000 A YouGov study with Alzheimer's Research United Kingdom found that only 49% recognized memory loss as a dementia symptom. 63 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000 22% had no idea how it affects people. 64 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Early signs like losing smell and struggling with tasks often go unnoticed. 65 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Dementia can affect driving through vision changes, balance issues, and visospatial awareness loss, making safe driving difficult. 66 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,000 If struggling with these while driving, seek medical help. 67 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:20,000 In business news, Crypto Bros are no longer flipping watches, creating issues for luxury brands. 68 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:27,000 Falling prices in the second-hand watch market suggest a prolonged recovery for first-hand sales. 69 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Europe's top luxury companies, including Rikmont and Air Mace, reported declines in watch sales. 70 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:46,000 The vibrant second-hand market, worth $25 billion annually, has seen a glut of inventory, causing longer wait times for resale. 71 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000 Speculators who once drove up prices have pulled back. 72 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:58,000 While certain brands like Hatek Philippe benefit from pent-up demand, others face a mixed outlook. 73 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:04,000 Nine consecutive quarters of falling values are challenging for luxury watchmakers. 74 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,000 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $59,100. 75 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000 Ethereum is just over $2,500. 76 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000 And Solana is $135. 77 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000 Moving on to a more local vibe.

And now, back to the show. 85 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Let's talk science. 86 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:20,000 Scientists have identified the gene responsible for thorns in plants like roses, raspberries, and blackberries. 87 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,000 Known as prickles, these defenses evolved independently in various species. 88 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:34,000 Researchers found that the gene coding for thorns, called lonely guy or log, is consistent across different plant families. 89 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:44,000 This discovery, published in the journal Science, reveals that the thorny trait evolved at least 28 times over 400 million years. 90 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:55,000 Using CRISPR technology, scientists have engineered thornless varieties of tomatoes and roses, potentially making gardening and harvesting easier and more accessible. 91 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:04,000 Entertainment news.
