Sunny mornings send you. In local news. A new
report reveals that San Diegans earning less
than $100 ,000 are considered low -income. This
threshold, according to the California Department
of Housing and Community Development, applies
to various regions in the state, including San
Diego County. The median income for a single
-person household in the area is $91 ,550, while
for a family of four, it is $130 ,800. Alarmingly,
nearly one -third of households in the county
struggle with basic living expenses, reflecting
the rising cost of living. Other counties like
Orange and Santa Barbara are also near this low
-income threshold, showcasing a concerning trend
across California. Now on to sports. Paige Beckers
showcased impressive skills in her second game
with the Wings against the Seattle Storm, matching
notable statistics achieved by Kaitlyn Clark.
In a 79 -71 loss, Beckers recorded 19 points,
8 assists, and 5 rebounds. The last rookie to
achieve such numbers in a game was Clark last
season, accomplishing this 12 times, according
to StatMamba. Beckers shot seven for 14 from
the floor, adding two steals and a block. Although
the Wings are still seeking their first win,
Beckers is finding her rhythm, hoping for success
similar to Clark's journey last season. In local
sports. Tomorrow afternoon in Toronto, the Friars
kick off game one of a three -game series against
the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Dylan Cease,
with a 4 .60 ERA, faces off against Chris Bassett,
boosting a 3 .16 ERA. The odds are tight with
Toronto slightly favored. First pitch is at 4
.07 in the Dome. In top news, recent studies
reveal that diphenhydramine, a common over -the
-counter medication, may significantly raise
the risk of dementia. and other cognitive impairments.
Originally approved for allergy relief, it is
now often used to treat insomnia and cold symptoms.
However, experts warn that prolonged use can
lead to serious side effects, such as memory
impairment, weight gain, and diminished cognitive
function. Notably, those using diphenhydramine
daily for more than three years face a 54 % higher
risk of developing dementia. With safer alternatives
available, health professionals recommend reconsidering
its routine use for long -term relief. In business
news, the owner of Francis Ford Coppola Winery
has closed its production facility in Jaycerville,
laying off 15 employees. Delicato, which purchased
the winery in 2021, filed a notice with California
authorities stating the layoffs took effect on
May 15th. Delicato, the fourth largest United
States wine producer, cited ample production
capacity at its other California locations. Meanwhile,
the Francis Ford Coppola Winery remains open
for tasting and other services. This closure
follows a trend of downsizing in the wine industry,
with several major companies announcing similar
actions this year amid a global wine downturn.

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
tech. Anthropic is addressing a significant issue
involving its Claude Artificial Intelligence,
which it blames for an embarrassing and unintentional
mistake in a legal filing. The chatbot included
wording errors in a citation, which made it appear
as if a genuine article did not exist. This occurred
during a defense against claims from music publishers
regarding the use of copyrighted lyrics for Training
Claude. An attorney for Universal Music Group
stated, the sources cited were a complete fabrication.
And Froffik's defense attorney clarified that,
while some errors were corrected, others went
unnoticed, leading to the company's apology for
the confusion caused. In a surprising twist,
Nicolas Cage is set to portray the legendary
John Madden in an upcoming film titled Madden,
produced by Amazon and GM Studios and directed
by David O. Russell. Cage, known for his eccentric
roles and Academy Award -winning performances,
will embody the late football icon who was famous
for his vibrant personality and expertise in
both broadcasting and video games. Alongside
Cage, Christian Bale will take on the role of
Al Davis, the intense Raiders owner. The cast
also includes John Mulaney as Trip Hawkins and
Katherine Hahn as Madden's wife, Virginia. A
release date has yet to be announced. Well, all
righty, folks, it's time for the quote of the
day. And today, our quote comes from the American

The present is theirs. The future, for which
I really worked, is mine. And that's a wrap for
this morning. You can check out our Instagram,
YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial
