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

to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. In local
news, the Encinitas City Council is currently
reviewing safety redesigns for the busy Santa
Fe Drive corridor, which was completed in May.
This area has a reputation for being dangerous
for pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists, particularly
in front of Sandagito Academy High School. Community
members are divided, as some feel the road is
too narrow. while others prefer the current setup
to avoid more construction costs. Cyclist Olivia
Wheeler expressed that she appreciates the safety
of the existing bike lane and separated paths.
State Senator Catherine Blakespear, who previously
served as mayor, emphasized the importance of
safety, noting that she allocated $3 million
for these improvements. The council is considering
three new design options that would widen the
road and eliminate angled parking, with costs
ranging from $2 million to $3 .6 million. Now
on to sports. The initial college football playoff
rankings for the 2025 season were released, with
Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A &M, and Alabama
occupying the top four spots. The selection committee
emphasized a new record -strength metric to highlight
competition quality, ranking Notre Dame at number
10 in Miami at number 18. The highest -ranked
team from outside power conferences is Memphis,
which did not make the top 25. The quarterfinals
are scheduled for December 31 and January 1.
with a national title game on January 19th in
Miami Gardens, Florida, in local sports. The
Los Angeles Chargers made two trades on trade
deadline day, but they did not match fan expectations.
The team traded a future sixth -round pick for
2022 first -round pick Trevor Penning, who adds
depth to the offensive line despite his subpar
performance. The Chargers also traded Josser
Taylor for a 20 -28 seventh round pick, a move
that will have no tangible impact. While fans
hoped for a bigger splash, the Chargers lacked
the cap space for a significant move, having
the third least in the NFL. Ultimately, the smaller
trades reflect a focus on financial flexibility
and future planning. In top news, on November
6th, 2025, United States Transportation Secretary
Sean Duffy announced a 10 % cut in flights at
40 major United States airports due to air traffic
control safety concerns amid a government shutdown
that reached a record 36 -day. The shutdown has
resulted in staffing shortages, flight delays,
and longer security wait times, impacting at
least 3 .2 million travelers. Duffy indicated
that cuts could be reversed if Democrats agree
to reopen the government. Airlines are scrambling
to adjust schedules, with significant reductions
expected within 36 hours. The Federal Aviation
Administration is about 3 ,500 air traffic controllers
short of targeted staffing levels. In business
news, there is a new way to get a loan, but it
comes at a cost. creditors have a new obsession.
When you are turned down for a loan due to a
low credit score, the lender may reconsider if
you allow them access to your bank account. Financial
companies are racing to analyze your day -to
-day transactions, hoping to fill in gaps left
by traditional credit scores. While open banking
is optional, major lenders are embracing this
trend, raising concerns about privacy. Some lenders
claim that this access can help expand credit
opportunities for those with thin credit histories.
However, it also invites potential surveillance
into your financial life. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is up 1 % to about $103 ,000. Ethereum
is up 2 % to just over $3 ,400. And XRP is up
4%. to $2 .33. Moving on to a more local vibe.

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk science. China was forced to
postpone the return of three astronauts from
its Tiangong space station following a suspected
collision with space debris that appears to have
struck their spacecraft. The China Manned Space
Agency is investigating the incident, stating
the Shento -20 crewed spacecraft is suspected
to have been struck by a small piece of orbital
debris. The crew, who launched in April, was
supposed to return on Thursday, but the delay
is to ensure the health and safety of the astronauts.

space junk, which poses significant risks to
missions. Experts note that even tiny debris
can cause catastrophic damage at high speeds.

and motivational speaker, Zig Ziegler. And he
said, Success means doing the best we can with
what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting,
and the trying, not the triumph. Success is a
