Good morning, and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Thursday, August 21st. You'll be interested
to know. 66 years ago today, in 1959, Hawaii
was officially admitted as the 50th state of
the United States. This momentous occasion marked
the culmination of a long journey from the overthrow
of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 and subsequent
annexation by the United States in 1898. The
strategic importance of Hawaii during World War
II, particularly after the attack on Pearl Harbor,
highlighted its value to the United States. So
now you know. And now... It's time for the surf
report. Thursday at Tourmaline and South San
Diego. This morning, it's looking fair with waves
at 2 to 3 plus feet. The onshore wind is light,
starting at 3 miles per hour and gradually picking
up to 7 miles per hour by late morning. Expect
choppy conditions in the afternoon as the wind
shifts to the west at 9 miles per hour. Best
time to ride is at 6 a .m. with a 2 -foot incoming
mid -tide when the southwest swell is 2 feet
at 14 seconds and the onshore wind is 3 mile
per hour. The first high tide on Thursday will
be four and a half feet at 930 a .m. followed
by a 2 -foot low tide at 230. The nearshore buoy
at Mission Bay West reads 68 degrees for the
water temperature. Clean conditions on Friday
see waves at 2 to 3 plus feet, with light winds
creating a smooth surface throughout the day.
Saturday brings a slight increase in size, reaching
3 plus feet, but unsure winds create choppy conditions,
especially in the afternoon. By Sunday, expect
a steady 2 to 3 plus feet with improved conditions,
offering better opportunities for a fun session.
This morning, there's patchy fog, and it feels
like 70 degrees with no wind. The sunset will
take place at 729, and it will rise again tomorrow
at 618. It looks like we're in for some patchy
fog this morning, clearing up by late morning,
leading to mostly sunny skies and a high near
80 with a light breeze. Tonight, expect more
patchy fog after 11. with a low around 69 and
gentle winds. Looking ahead in the weather, expect
partly sunny skies with patchy fog in the mornings,
highs around 81 to 82, and mostly cloudy nights
with lows in the upper 60s. Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

Sunny mornings send you. In local news, San Diegans
now have an easier way to report fraudulent or
unlawful business practices, thanks to the district
attorney's office. The office has enhanced its
consumer protection complaint process, allowing
residents to submit issues related to such practices
through an online form. For those who prefer
in -person assistance, consumer protection experts
are available at the DA's Care Center in National
City and One Safe Place, the North County Family
Justice Center in San Marcos. District Attorney
Summer Steffen emphasized the commitment to supporting
the San Diego community and streamlining the
reporting process, ensuring that all consumers
know how to report suspected fraud. Now on to
sports. The PGA Tour is set for gigantic changes,
as Tiger Woods leads a new committee aimed at
modernizing the Tour. Woods, who has seen the
sport evolve over his three decades, is tackling
the challenge of reshaping how the Tour operates.
With potential changes like fewer events and
higher stakes, the goal is to get the biggest
stars competing together more often. Woods stated,
emphasizing the need for a clean sheet of paper.
As the tour navigates competition from L .I .V.
Golf, its leadership remains committed to enhancing
the sport while balancing player interests in
local sports. Last night at Petco Park, the Padres
beat the Giants 8 -1. Winning pitcher Sears went
six innings, getting up one run with one walk
and eight strikeouts. Home runs came from Sheets
and Machado, with O 'Hearn adding one as well.

The Padres now stand at 71 -56, leaving the Giants
behind. Tonight, the Padres face the Giants again

Valley, a growing obsession with creating smarter
babies is emerging among tech executives. Many
are investing tens of thousands of dollars in
genetic testing services that promise to screen
embryos for intelligence. Steve Benson -Tilsen,
a mathematician, leads the Berkeley Genomics
Project, advocating for this new frontier. Matchmakers
are pairing tech leaders with high IQ partners,
further fueling this trend. However, biathesis
warn about the implications of genetic selection,
questioning fairness, and unintended consequences.
While some believe it could lead to higher intelligence,
Experts caution that current methods only predict
modest improvements in cognitive ability. In
business news, the United States labor force
is shrinking at alarming rates, signaling potential
economic disaster. Over the past three months,
the country has lost 790 ,000 workers, a significant
drop in immigration, and challenges like high
childcare costs or contributing factors. Companies
are struggling to hire talent, particularly in
the tech sector, where giants like Meta and Microsoft
are vying for limited resources. However, many
businesses may soon scale back hiring, impacting
consumer spending, which drives nearly 70 % of
the economy. Without smart policy changes, reversing
this trend seems unlikely. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is up 0 .5 % to just over $114 ,000.
Ethereum is up 4 % to just over $4 ,300. And
XRP is up 2 % to $2 .93. Moving on to a more

protection does not last forever. The company

or dustproof as sealants degrade over time, especially
when exposed to salt or chlorine or after physical
damage. Additionally, liquid damage is not covered
under warranty. This candid admission is rare
among manufacturers. Huckel shared the details

of folding glass technology and the plastic screen
