Sunny Morning sent you. In local news, the San
Diego Tourism Authority is encouraging San Diegans
to enjoy one of its most famous culinary creations.
the California Burrito, in celebration of National
Burrito Day. This delicious dish, which features
carne asada, fries, pico de gallo, sour cream,
and cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla, has a
muddled origin, with many attributing it to a
1960s creation by one of San Diego's taquerias.
While Santana's Mexican Grill claims to be the
home of the California Burrito, San Diego Magazine
gives partial credit to the Lolitas chain. The
STTA president and CEO, Daniel Cooper -Schnitt,
emphasizes that San Diego has the California
Burrito, the most iconic handheld in Southern
California. Now on to sports. Kirk Cousins has
signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. which makes
perfect sense for the team as a mentor for Fernando
Mendoza. The Raiders have added the veteran quarterback,
according to his agent, Mike McCartney, just
days after speculation about his future arose
during the NFL owners' meetings. Cousins was
released by the Atlanta Falcons, who are moving
forward with Michael Pennix Jr. and Tua Tagovailova.
At 37 years old, Cousins brings nearly 45 ,000
career passing yards, 298 touchdown passes, and
four Pro Bowl selections. This signing aligns
with the Raiders' new head coach, Clint Kubiak,
and their number one pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
In local sports, this afternoon, the 2 -4 Padres
are in Boston to face the 1 -5 Red Sox. At 11
.10 a .m., Michael King faces Sonny Gray. In
top news, just how much are 12 metric tons of

gold, it turns out. Over the weekend, Nestle
confirmed that thieves had swiped 413 ,793 units
of Kit Kats. somewhere along their way from a
factory in central Italy to Poland. Though both
the chocolate bars and the truck remain missing,
no one was hurt in the theft. What the Swiss
company lost in chocolate, it gained back in
public relations. Nestle stated, we've always
encouraged people to have a break with Kit Kat,
but it seems these have taken the message too
literally. In business news. Warning, Amazon

Just be sure to tell them sunny morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. A scientist may have just solved the
mystery of the Great Pyramid. Ancient Egyptians,
despite lacking modern technology, completed
the megalith in a remarkably swift manner. The
construction methods of the Great Pyramid have
sparked extensive debate, with theories suggesting
ramps were used, although no evidence of them
has been found. One scientist proposed that if
ramps existed, they would have been integrated
into the pyramid and concealed. An algorithm
testing this idea revealed that a built -in ramp
could have significantly reduced construction
time by facilitating easier ascent and allowing
multiple teams to position stone blocks simultaneously.
And in entertainment news, J .J. Abrams is scaling
down Bad Robot as he moves to New York. The production
company is leaving Los Angeles after nearly three
decades of producing several hit films and television
shows, including Mission Impossible movies, Lost,
and Westworld. Bad Robot is reorganizing and
shutting down its Los Angeles office, following
the sale of its longtime Santa Monica headquarters
for $31 million in November and staff reductions
in recent years. Founded in 1999, the company
has been responsible for numerous hits, starting
with Alias in 2001 and adding Fringe, Person
of Interest, and Westworld. Well, alrighty folks,
it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
our quote comes from the American author and
motivational speaker, Dale Carnegie. And he said,
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is
wanting what you get. And that's a wrap for this
morning. You can check out our Instagram, YouTube,
