Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Friday, May 2nd. You'll be interested
to know. 25 years ago today, in the year 2000,
President Bill Clinton announced that the highly
accurate global positioning system, known as
GPS, would be made available to the public without
degradation. This decision transformed navigation
and location -based services worldwide, enabling
advancements in fields such as transportation,
agriculture, and emergency response. By providing
precise positioning data to civilians, this initiative
paved the way for innovations that have become
integral to daily life, from smartphone navigation
to precision farming. So now you know. And now...

hold around two plus feet throughout the morning,
providing decent conditions. However, expect
the winds to remain sideshore at five mile per
hour, keeping things relatively smooth before
shifting onshore later in the day. which may
create some chop as the swell builds. Best time
to ride is at 6 a .m. with the 1 -foot outgoing
low tide when the south -southwest swell is 1
.5 feet at 13 seconds and the sideshore wind
is 5 mph. The first low tide Friday will be minus
a half foot at 8 .15 a .m. with a 3 -foot high
tide at 4. The nearshore gooey at Mission Day

opportunities across the three days. This morning,
it's cloudy and it feels like 61 degrees with

daylighting law took effect in San Diego, prohibiting
parking within 20 feet of any marked or unmarked
crosswalk. This regulation aims to enhance visibility
for both drivers and pedestrians, ultimately
reducing collisions. Erin Longin, a parking enforcement
supervisor, explained that tickets now carry
a hefty price of $117. as the city seeks to address
a $258 million budget shortfall. Since the grace
period ended, around 4 ,200 tickets have been

Last night, the Kings fell to the Oilers 6 -4
in Edmonton, ending their playoff run. Quinton
Byfield and Ans Kopitar each scored, but Edmonton's
relentless offense, led by Zach Hyman, proved
too much. The Kings finished the season at 48
-25 -9. In Pittsburgh, the Padres take on the
Pirates at PNC Park tonight for game one of a
three -game series. Dillon sees with an ERA of

turn, McDonald's reported a 3 .6 % drop in United
States. Same -store sales during the first quarter.

of COVID lockdowns in 2020. Chief Executive Officer
Chris Kempchinsky noted that lower - and middle
-income customers are tightening their budgets
amid economic uncertainty. McDonald's is not
alone, as other fast -food giants like KFC, Pizza
Hut, and Domino's also experience declines. Despite
this, McDonald's hopes for a boost in sales from
a partnership with a Minecraft movie in the second
quarter and the anticipated return of the snack
wrap later this year. In business news, Spotify
has submitted an app update to Apple, adding
an external link for subscription purchases in
the United States. This move follows a U .S.
judge's ruling that Apple violated an order to
allow more competition for app downloads. Spotify
expressed in a letter to Apple that it finds
it absurd that these basic services were not
delivered sooner. The ruling, issued by U .S.
District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez -Rogers, stated
that Apple failed to comply with a prior injunction
from an antitrust lawsuit by Fortnite maker Epic
Games. Apple has stated it strongly disagrees
with the decision but will comply while planning
to appeal. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up

you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
tech. In more Apple news... Judge Avon Gonzalez
-Rogers stated that Apple executive Alex Roman
outright lied under oath during the Epic trial.
The judge described Roman's testimony as replete
with misdirection and outright lies. She highlighted
that Roman claimed Apple had not set its 27 %
commission fee for purchases outside the App
Store until January 16, 2024. However, contemporaneous
business documents indicated that the fee was
determined in July 2023. Gonzalez -Rogers is
now referring the case to a United States attorney
for potential criminal contempt proceedings against
Apple and Roman. She emphasized that Apple's
actions were intended to create new anti -competitive
barriers. In Havoc, directed by Gareth Evans,
Tom Hardy portrays a cop named Walker seeking
redemption in a corrupt city reminiscent of a
gritty Gotham. The film's title suggests chaos,
but it delivers confusion instead. Walker, a
part of a corrupt gang of narcotics officers,
finds himself entangled in a convoluted conspiracy
while trying to protect the son of a mayoral
candidate. Despite some thrilling action sequences,
like a chaotic nightclub scene, the screenplay
falters with shallow characters and lackluster
dialogue. Ultimately, Evans' directorial strengths
in action do not compensate for the film's weak
narrative and character development. Well, alrighty
folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And
today, our quote comes from the American politician
