Good morning, and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Tuesday, February 24th. You'll be interested
to know. 45 years ago, today, in 1981, International
Business Machines introduced its personal computer,
a compact, user -friendly system that brought

a common hardware and software platform, and
accelerated an industry that changed how people
work and create. So now you know. And now it's

feet waves rolling in. Conditions stay clean
at 2 to 3 feet until about 9 a .m., then shift
to fair as the wind turns onshore at 4 miles
per hour. Expect choppy surf for the afternoon,
with winds increasing to onshore at 9 miles per
hour. Best time to ride is at 8 a .m. with a
one -foot outgoing low tide when the West Northwest
swell is 2 feet at 11 seconds. and the offshore

degrees for the water temperature. Conditions
start off clean with waves around 2 feet on Wednesday,
ideal for beginners. Thursday holds steady at
2 feet but sees choppy conditions as winds pick
up throughout the day. Friday maintains 2 feet

later making it less favorable for smooth rides.

a popular pedestrian destination. Mayor Todd
Gloria expressed his enthusiasm for the project
in a 2023 press conference, stating, the Gaslamp
Promenade will take the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown
San Diego to the next level. However, many San

are concerned after the city notified the Gaslamp
Quarter Association that it would no longer support
operations. Thorne emphasized the need for the
city to invest more in neighborhoods like the
Gaslamp, stating, it's just not fair when we
are working really hard to keep business open.
Now onto sports. American athletes had a cold
start to the Milan -Cortina games. Then they
heated up in the final week, leaving Italy with

global vibration back to a single 650 -foot wave
violently trapped inside a remote waterway. In
September and October of 2023, an unknown seismic
pulse was generated by the Earth every 90 seconds.
This seismic activity was believed to be caused
by a SAGE, or standing wave, triggered by a landslide
and a powerful maggot tsunami in Dixon, Fjord.
Using advanced satellite data, researchers concluded
that the observed variability was consistent
with a slowly decaying sage. The entertainment
