WEBVTT 00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:03.859 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:04.019 --> 00:00:08.779 Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:13.400 and it's Monday, July 14th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:18.899 to know. Sixty years ago today, in 1965, NASA's 00:00:18.899 --> 00:00:21.980 Mariner 4 spacecraft achieved a monumental milestone 00:00:21.980 --> 00:00:25.539 by performing the first successful flyby of Mars. 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.379 This historic mission provided humanity with 00:00:29.379 --> 00:00:31.760 its initial close -up images of the Red Planet, 00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:35.179 revealing a landscape marked by lunar -type impact 00:00:35.179 --> 00:00:38.280 craters, some touched with frost in the chill 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.740 Martian evening. The data collected by Mariner 00:00:41.740 --> 00:00:44.560 4 significantly advanced our understanding of 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.640 Mars and laid the foundation for future exploration 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.820 of our neighboring planet. So now you know. And 00:00:52.820 --> 00:00:59.329 now, it's time for the Surf Report. Monday at 00:00:59.329 --> 00:01:03.109 Tourmaline and South San Diego.

However, 00:01:13.510 --> 00:01:16.890 expect the winds to remain onshore at 4 to 5 00:01:16.890 --> 00:01:20.150 mph, creating some bumps as the day progresses. 00:01:20.870 --> 00:01:23.930 As the afternoon approaches, conditions may become 00:01:23.930 --> 00:01:28.379 a bit more bumpy with shifting winds.

Tuesday through Thursday 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.480 features consistent waist -to -chest high waves 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:03.840 with predominantly fair conditions. Early mornings 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.640 offer clean surf with light winds, transitioning 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.939 to breezy afternoons. Wednesday showcases similar 00:02:10.939 --> 00:02:13.860 conditions, maintaining ridable surf despite 00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:17.960 some choppy periods. Thursday sees a slight drop 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.990 in wave height but remains fair throughout. with 00:02:20.990 --> 00:02:23.669 manageable winds ensuring enjoyable sessions 00:02:23.669 --> 00:02:28.669 for all skill levels.

In downtown 00:04:16.089 --> 00:04:19.189 San Diego, a stretch of Fifth Avenue is reopening 00:04:19.189 --> 00:04:22.149 to car traffic, raising uncertainty about the 00:04:22.149 --> 00:04:24.910 future of bollards that were temporarily removed. 00:04:25.990 --> 00:04:28.470 Installed two years ago to enhance pedestrian 00:04:28.470 --> 00:04:31.310 access, the bollards were taken down this year 00:04:31.310 --> 00:04:34.870 due to budget constraints. Sheninthia Smith, 00:04:35.250 --> 00:04:38.230 general manager at Fat Tuesday on Fifth Avenue, 00:04:38.490 --> 00:04:41.629 expressed a desire for their return, noting they 00:04:41.629 --> 00:04:45.420 helped improve foot traffic. However, some local 00:04:45.420 --> 00:04:48.920 business owners, including Momay Sumy of Nicky 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.660 and Company Fine Jewelers, believe removing the 00:04:51.660 --> 00:04:54.459 bollards has positively impacted business by 00:04:54.459 --> 00:04:58.060 increasing vehicle traffic. The Gaslamp Quarter 00:04:58.060 --> 00:05:01.079 Association is exploring private funding options 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:10.470 for their reinstatement. Now on to sports. In 00:05:10.470 --> 00:05:13.209 Major League Baseball, the Atlanta Braves, once 00:05:13.209 --> 00:05:15.910 seen as World Series contenders, find themselves 00:05:15.910 --> 00:05:20.649 struggling at 42 wins and 52 losses, nearly out 00:05:20.649 --> 00:05:23.990 of postseason contention. Their playoff chances 00:05:23.990 --> 00:05:27.089 have plummeted from 92 % at the season start 00:05:27.089 --> 00:05:31.990 to just 4 .6%, despite strong performances from 00:05:31.990 --> 00:05:35.579 Ronald Acuna Jr. and Spencer Schwellenbach. A 00:05:35.579 --> 00:05:38.240 series of injuries and poor performances from 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.139 key players have plagued the team. As the trade 00:05:42.139 --> 00:05:44.920 deadline approaches, questions arise about whether 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.199 the Braves will make significant changes or simply 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.639 adjust their roster for the remainder of the 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:57.480 season. Yesterday afternoon at Petco Park, the 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:01.709 Phillies edged past the Padres 2 -1. Philadelphia's 00:06:01.709 --> 00:06:04.870 Sanchez earned the win, stifling San Diego over 00:06:04.870 --> 00:06:08.730 seven and one -third innings. With the game tied 00:06:08.730 --> 00:06:11.730 in the eighth, Real Mudo's double brought Harper 00:06:11.730 --> 00:06:16.389 home, sealing the Friars' fate. Morrigan took 00:06:16.389 --> 00:06:20.290 the loss for San Diego despite Machado and Bogert's 00:06:20.290 --> 00:06:23.329 efforts at the plate, while Strom secured the 00:06:23.329 --> 00:06:25.810 save for the Phillies as the Friars now stand 00:06:25.810 --> 00:06:30.209 at 52 -44. Looking ahead after the All -Star 00:06:30.209 --> 00:06:33.069 break to Friday afternoon, the Friars face the 00:06:33.069 --> 00:06:37.410 Nationals in Washington. Michael King, sporting 00:06:37.410 --> 00:06:41.910 a 4 .67 earned run average, takes on Tyler Stewart, 00:06:42.189 --> 00:06:49.290 who holds a 3 .57. In top news, just 30 minutes 00:06:49.290 --> 00:06:52.050 a day of Japanese walking may help you get in 00:06:52.050 --> 00:06:55.790 shape. This technique, known as interval walking 00:06:55.790 --> 00:06:59.069 training, is gaining popularity after going viral 00:06:59.069 --> 00:07:03.329 on social media. A study led by Hiroshi Nose 00:07:03.329 --> 00:07:05.829 found that middle -aged and older individuals 00:07:05.829 --> 00:07:08.910 who practiced this method experienced lower blood 00:07:08.910 --> 00:07:11.850 pressure and improved physical fitness compared 00:07:11.850 --> 00:07:15.649 to those who walked at a moderate pace. Interval 00:07:15.649 --> 00:07:18.230 walking involves alternating three minutes of 00:07:18.230 --> 00:07:21.209 fast walking with three minutes of slower walking. 00:07:22.699 --> 00:07:26.420 Experts suggest starting slowly, aiming for 15 00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:29.339 minutes twice a day, and gradually working up 00:07:29.339 --> 00:07:31.740 to the recommended physical activity levels. 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:38.600 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed legislation 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.740 to officially recognize gold and silver coins 00:07:41.740 --> 00:07:45.139 as legal tender in the Sunshine State, aiming 00:07:45.139 --> 00:07:47.839 to provide Floridians with financial freedom. 00:07:49.069 --> 00:07:52.449 DeSantis emphasized that gold is very likely 00:07:52.449 --> 00:07:55.389 to hold its value, certainly compared to fiat 00:07:55.389 --> 00:08:00.610 currency. The new law, effective July 1, 2026, 00:08:00.970 --> 00:08:05.189 also exempts these coins from sales tax. DeSantis 00:08:05.189 --> 00:08:07.810 believes this move protects residents from the 00:08:07.810 --> 00:08:10.790 declining value of the U .S. dollar amidst rising 00:08:10.790 --> 00:08:14.939 inflation and fiscal uncertainty. He highlights 00:08:14.939 --> 00:08:17.980 gold's appeal as a safe haven, especially during 00:08:17.980 --> 00:08:21.240 economic turmoil, as its prices surged over the 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:26.139 past year. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 00:08:26.139 --> 00:08:30.740 2 % over the weekend to just over $119 ,000. 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.639 Ethereum is unchanged at just under $3 ,000. 00:08:36.340 --> 00:08:44.820 And XRP is up 10 % to $2 .83. Moving on to a 00:08:44.820 --> 00:08:49.200 more local vibe. In our community spotlight on 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.179 health and wellness, we are working with a national 00:08:52.179 --> 00:08:55.039 Pilates studio to bring you some free classes, 00:08:55.240 --> 00:09:00.019 so listen up.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:39.179 tech. Jack Dorsey, the co -founder of Twitter, 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.480 has launched a new messaging app called BitChat, 00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:45.159 which operates without the need for the internet 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.480 or phone numbers. Dorsey shared his interest 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.500 in Bluetooth mesh networks, which allow devices 00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:55.820 to communicate directly. The app promises ephemeral, 00:09:55.899 --> 00:09:58.960 encrypted communication, making it resistant 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:02.980 to network outages and censorship. Users will 00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:06.700 generate random Peter IDs, eliminating the need 00:10:06.700 --> 00:10:10.179 for registration. The beta version has already 00:10:10.179 --> 00:10:14.679 attracted 10 ,000 downloads. Dorsey, the CEO 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.679 of Block, has a history of supporting decentralized 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:21.179 technology, but BitChat is still under review 00:10:21.179 --> 00:10:27.460 before its public release. Entertainment news. 00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:32.559 Netflix's upcoming black comedy, Vladimir, is 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:35.379 based on the best -selling novel by Julia Mae 00:10:35.379 --> 00:10:38.519 Jonas. and features the talented Rachel Weisz, 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:42.120 known for her role in The Mummy. The series, 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.759 which began production this month, explores themes 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:49.600 of morality, power, and desire. Weisz stars as 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.139 an unnamed English professor caught in a web 00:10:52.139 --> 00:10:55.600 of obsession and intrigue as her husband, portrayed 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:59.120 by John Slattery, faces scrutiny for inappropriate 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.990 relationships with students. With a strong female 00:11:02.990 --> 00:11:06.610 creative team, Vladimir promises to be a provocative 00:11:06.610 --> 00:11:10.549 and engaging watch.

And he said, It is possible to fly without 00:11:30.129 --> 00:11:32.889 motors, but not without knowledge and skill. 00:11:34.230 --> 00:11:37.990 And that's a wrap for this morning.
