Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, October 1st.
You'll be interested to know.
53 years ago, today, in 1971.
The Walt Disney World Resort, a complex near Orlando, Florida,
that features attractions based on the stories and characters created by the Disney Company, opened.
And now, it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect knee-high to waist-high surf from Tuesday through Friday.
On Tuesday morning, conditions will be semi-glassy with light, offshore winds,
turning semi-choppy in the afternoon with onshore winds.
Wednesday and Thursday mornings will remain semi-glassy with variable winds, becoming
semi-choppy by afternoon.
Friday morning will be glassy with onshore winds and semi-glassy to semi-bumpy conditions in the
afternoon.
Tuesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego.
It's looking fair at 1 to 2 feet until noon.
After that, it's looking pretty choppy in the afternoon.
But should turn fair for a sunset session.
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a 3.5 foot incoming high tide when the north-northwest swell
is 1.5 feet at 10 seconds and the variable wind is 4 mile per hour.
The first high tide Tuesday will be 5 foot at 9.15 a.m. with a 1 foot low tide at 3.15.
At 3.15. This morning it's patchy fog and feels like 67 degrees with no wind.
The sunset will take place at 6.32 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.43.
It looks like we're in for some patchy fog early this morning, clearing up to mostly sunny skies
with a high near 81 and a gentle northwest breeze.
Tonight, expect partly cloudy skies with a low around 66 and light winds.
Looking ahead in the weather, expect patchy fog each morning before 11 a.m. gradually clearing
to mostly sunny skies. Daytime highs will be near 80 to 83 degrees.
Nights will be partly to mostly cloudy with lows in the mid 60s to upper 60s.
Bonjour, food enthusiasts. This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in
Encinitas. Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe
is a haven for culinary delights. Indulge in their amazing eggs Benedict or their gluten-free
crepes. You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.
They are open every day from 8 to 5. So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. Sunny morning
sends you. In local news, in a significant change for older drivers, the California Department of
Motor Vehicles announced that individuals aged 70 and older will no longer need to take a knowledge
test for license renewal. Previously, this test was mandatory once a driver reached 70, but now
those without traffic violations can skip it entirely. VMV Director Steve Corton stated,
we are eliminating the written knowledge test to improve customer service. However, first-time
drivers and those with poor driving records must still undergo the knowledge test.
Officials recommend starting applications online to minimize office visits.
Now on to sports. The 12 teams heading into the MLB postseason showcase different strategies for
success. The Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians lead with 16 and 15 homegrown players,
respectively. The Houston Astros excel in wins above replacement, producing 30.8 from homegrown
talent. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres dominate with 12 trade acquisitions, despite having only
three homegrown players. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies also stand out, with
the Phillies achieving the highest total wins above replacement at 50.1. The San Diego Padres
also have a high total wins above replacement at 50.1. These different approaches highlight the
many ways to build a winning roster. Tonight, the Houston Astros host the Detroit Tigers at
Minute Maid Park, starting at 2.30 Eastern on ABC, with Astros Framber Valdez facing Tigers
Tarek Schubel. Later, the Baltimore Orioles welcome the Kansas City Royals to Camden Yards
and ESPN 2, where Corbin Burns will face Royals left-hander Cole Regans. The Milwaukee Brewers
take on the New York Mets at American Family Field at 5.30 Eastern on ESPN, with Freddie Peralta
pitching against Luis Severino in local sports. Tonight, the Padres kick off their five-game
wild-card series, hosting the Atlanta Braves at Petco Park at 5.30 on ESPN.
The Friars right-hander, Michael King, takes the mound, while the Braves have yet to announce
their starting pitcher. Let's go, Padres! In top news, Hurricane Helene has abruptly
shifted the narrative of this year's hurricane season, which began quietly but has now seen
unprecedented storm activity. Helene, a Category 4 storm, slammed into Florida's Big Bend, fueled
by exceptionally warm Caribbean waters. Forecasters are already warning of more storms on the horizon.
Meteorologists at Colorado State University note that climate change is complicating predictions,
with scientists observing an increase in major hurricanes, particularly those undergoing rapid
intensification. The unusual quiet before Helene's landfall highlights the challenges of forecasting
in a warming world. Experts stress the need for careful study of this unpredictable season.
In business news, FAIR, a platform for small businesses, experienced a meteoric rise to
a valuation of $12 billion, but not without facing substantial challenges. Co-founder Max Rhodes
reflected on the icky feeling of rapid growth, fueled by venture capital but leading to slow
customer service and operational inefficiencies. As complaints mounted and growth stalled,
FAIR's leadership realized they needed to pivot towards sustainable growth.
By reevaluating their approach, they focused on building lasting relationships,
improving their algorithm, and cutting low-quality suppliers.
After laying off staff and adjusting their valuation to $5 billion, they aim to foster
long-term success while learning from past mistakes. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just
under $63,800. Ethereum is just over $2,600. And Solana is $155.
Moving on to a more local vibe. In our community spotlight on health and wellness,

Diego Beach. Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. And now back to the show.
Let's talk science. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a
promising method for recycling plastics by vaporizing them. This innovative technique
targets two common plastics, polypropylene and polyethylene, which are notoriously difficult to
recycle due to their strong carbon bonds. By using catalysts, the researchers can break these bonds,
converting the plastics into propylene and isobutylene, valuable gases that can be turned
into new plastics. While the process shows great potential, scaling it up will be essential to
effectively combat plastic waste. The team emphasizes that reducing reliance on fossil
fuel sources could significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Entertainment News. Megalopolis has been released and was directed by the legendary Francis Ford
Coppola. Featuring a star-studded cast, including Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, and Nathalie
Emanuel, the film explores an alternate future America, where architects, artists, and politicians
vie for the soul of a New York-like city. This ambitious, self-funded project with a budget of
120 million dollars blends modern myths with ancient themes. While it may be chaotic and
challenging, Coppola's unique vision raises profound questions about the future of America.
Time will ultimately reveal its legacy. Well, all righty, folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American business magnate and philanthropist, John D.
Rockefeller. And he said, the ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or
coffee, and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun. 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.
