1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,360 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. 2 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,080 We're the daily podcast that gets you started on the right foot and always with a positive 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,080 vibe. 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,240 I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Monday, February 12th. 5 00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:22,960 You'll be interested to know, today is Charles Darwin Day. 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:31,080 Darwin was an English naturalist born 215 years ago today in 1809. 7 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:37,200 He revolutionized scientific thought with his theory of evolution by natural selection. 8 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,440 Initially his ideas shocked Victorian society, challenging religious views by proposing a 9 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,080 common ancestry for animals and humans. 10 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,940 Over time, Darwin's secular approach to biology gained traction among the growing 11 00:00:51,940 --> 00:00:55,560 community of professional scientists. 12 00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:03,680 By his death in 1882, his evolutionary concepts had permeated science, literature, and politics. 13 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,960 Now let's check out the weather in the Encinitas area. 14 00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:13,840 This morning we got clear skies and 44 degrees, with just about no wind. 15 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:21,760 The sunset will take place at 5.31 p.m. and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.33 a.m. 16 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:27,520 It looks like we're in for a sunny day with a high near 60 and variable wind 5 to 10 mile 17 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,760 per hour. 18 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:36,760 Tonight mostly clear with a low around 47 and north wind around 5 mile per hour. 19 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:43,400 In the surf report, expect a lively but easing west-northwest swell on Monday with waves 20 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,800 reaching waist to occasionally chest high. 21 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,000 This traditional swell favors winter standout spots. 22 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,520 The surf size decreases slightly on Tuesday with a later morning high tide, offering a 23 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,360 good tide push. 24 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,400 Looking ahead, active north Pacific swells promise fun waves through next week with potential 25 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,360 for stronger surf after mid-month. 26 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:14,000 However, possible storms along the west coast could disrupt conditions, especially by next 27 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,120 Sunday. 28 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,160 Details are still uncertain, so stay tuned. 29 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:26,160 In Encinitas and North County, it's looking good and clean at 2 to 4 feet before 10 a.m. 30 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,440 with an incoming mid-tide at 3.5 feet. 31 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:36,880 The first high tide Monday will be 5.5 feet around 10.30 a.m. with a low tide at minus 32 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,480 a half foot around 5 p.m. 33 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:49,380 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 59 degrees for the water temperature. 34 00:02:49,380 --> 00:02:55,080 Looking ahead in the weather, we'll see a consistent pattern of mostly sunny days with 35 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,040 highs near 59 degrees, transitioning to partly to mostly cloudy nights with lows in the upper 36 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,520 40s to low 50s. 37 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:10,160 Expect patchy fog on Wednesday and Thursday nights, clearing by morning. 38 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,480 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 39 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:18,240 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 40 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:24,720 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 41 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,520 for culinary delights. 42 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:33,140 Indulge

00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:55,560 In local news, in San Diego, a bill has been introduced to address the surge in e-bike 48 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,280 usage and related collisions. 49 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,820 This bill, a revival of the previous AB 530, focuses on creating educational and licensing 50 00:04:05,820 --> 00:04:08,680 requirements for e-bike riders. 51 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,800 It bans children under 12 from riding e-bikes, while those 12 and older must undergo an online 52 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:21,760 course and a written test, also requiring a state ID for those without a driver's 53 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,960 license. 54 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,600 This move seeks to establish consistent regulations across various communities following a rise 55 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,080 in e-bike-related accidents. 56 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:43,840 The proposal reflects an urgent call for improved road safety and responsible e-bike usage. 57 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,160 Now on to sports. 58 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,440 Super Bowl 58 was a good one. 59 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,440 It was a close game until the end with plenty of back-and-forth action. 60 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,440 But it's official. 61 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,760 A new dynasty is born. 62 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:03,920 The Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime to earn their second 63 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,800 Super Bowl win in a row. 64 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,320 Congratulations guys, you deserve it. 65 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:18,320 In the NBA over the weekend, the Clippers at home beat the Pistons 112-106. 66 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:24,680 And the Lakers, at home, beat the Pelicans 139-122. 67 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,240 Tonight the Clippers are at home against the Timberwolves. 68 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:36,840 On Saturday the Kings, playing at home, beat the Oilers 4-0. 69 00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:38,720 In top news. 70 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:45,040 In Tarp, Sweden, archaeologists discovered an ancient stone burial chamber from around 71 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:51,000 3500 BC, making it one of Scandinavia's oldest. 72 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,320 The site revealed a peculiar finding, all skulls and most large bones were missing from 73 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:03,720 the remains, which is an unusual deviation from typical burial patterns. 74 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,360 This absence has baffled researchers, who initially thought the site's significance 75 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,720 lay in its age and construction. 76 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,600 The chamber contained remains from infants to elderly individuals, with no signs of violent 77 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,600 death. 78 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:25,480 Investigations continue, focusing on DNA analysis, to uncover possible causes of death. 79 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:31,140 The researchers suspect ritual practices might explain the missing bones, but the mystery 80 00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:34,780 remains unsolved. 81 00:06:34,780 --> 00:06:36,880 In business news. 82 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,080 This week at TechCrunch Mobility Conference, major updates abound. 83 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:47,520 Uber achieves a full year profit, a first for its operations. 84 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:54,560 And electric vehicles, Ford's secretive low-cost EV project in California and Fiskars Woes 85 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,080 take center stage. 86 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:02,920 Also, Joby Aviation plans to launch their air taxi services in Dubai by 2026. 87 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:10,960 Finally, the EV landscape sees dynamic movements, with Arrival, electric delivery vans, facing 88 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:19,680 financial challenges in the UK, and Rydian, set to unveil a new, more affordable SUV. 89 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,320 Stay tuned for more news from the conference this week. 90 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:36,800 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is over $48,000, Ethereum is about $2,500, and Solana is $103. 91 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,240 Moving on to a more local vibe. 92 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:46,240 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 93 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,620 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 94 00:07:50,620 --> 00:07:55,960 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area. 95 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:01,780 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing

check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 99 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,320 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 100 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,480 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 101 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,480 And now, back to the show. 102 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,400 Let's talk tech. 103 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:36,240 The latest iPhone software update, still in beta testing, introduces a significant update 104 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,200 for Apple Cash users. 105 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,880 It now allows the generation of a virtual card number, enabling payments even in places 106 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,320 where Apple Pay isn't accepted. 107 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,960 This feature addresses a major limitation of Apple's payment service, now making it 108 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,760 more versatile. 109 00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:00,120 Users can easily set up this virtual card through a simple two-step process in the Wallet 110 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,820 app. 111 00:09:01,820 --> 00:09:07,160 The virtual card includes an expiration date and security code, while maintaining a separate 112 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,380 number for Apple Pay transactions. 113 00:09:10,380 --> 00:09:14,960 This enhancement offers greater convenience, especially since there are still numerous 114 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,720 locations that don't support Apple Pay. 115 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,400 Additionally, it eliminates the need for transferring money to a bank, which could incur a fee for 116 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,960 instant transfers. 117 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,240 And in entertainment news. 118 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:34,120 In this year's Super Bowl, country music icon Reba McIntyre was set to sing the national 119 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,600 anthem, sparking interest in prop bets on the performance's duration. 120 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,400 The over-under was set to 90 and a half seconds. 121 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:49,560 Historically, McIntyre's renditions are notably brief, influenced by her distinctive yodeling 122 00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:50,560 style. 123 00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:56,760 Yodeling, a vocal technique involving rapid, flexible shifts between chest and head voice, 124 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,880 often leads to quicker song interpretations. 125 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:09,440 McIntyre's past anthem times, like 72 seconds in 1974 and 66 seconds in 1985, exemplify 126 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,920 this trend. 127 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:16,760 However, as she has matured, her times have slightly lengthened due to a mix of increased 128 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,520 vocal control and decreased physical vocal agility. 129 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:27,680 Interestingly, McIntyre's rhythm has been inconsistent in past performances, primarily 130 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:30,160 due to her singing a cappella. 131 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:36,160 This variability might influence her upcoming Super Bowl performance time. 132 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,080 In the end, you should have bet the over, because Reba went 95 seconds. 133 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,240 And if he did go with the over, then winner-winner chicken dinner. 134 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,880 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 135 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:55,400 And today, our quote comes from Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce. 136 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,320 And last night he said, 137 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,720 Viva Las Vegas! 138 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,720 Brilliant. 139 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,800 And that's a wrap for this morning. 140 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,000 Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates. 141 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:23,640 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
