00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,640 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 4 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,880 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science 5 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,120 and entertainment. 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,520 But first, you'll be interested to know. 7 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,660 Today is National Burrito Day. 8 00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:36,200 The burrito is a dish with murky origins, which some historians argue isn't originally 9 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,960 Mexican. 10 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,940 The burrito's journey to American fame is a tale of adaptation, starting with the Spanish 11 00:00:42,940 --> 00:00:49,440 introducing wheat to Mexico, leading to the creation of flour tortillas. 12 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:55,300 The burrito, as we know it, likely began in northern Mexico, evolving into a beloved staple 13 00:00:55,300 --> 00:01:01,360 of Mexican-American cuisine, despite its late popularity in the U.S. 14 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:07,380 This culinary chameleon has embraced influences far beyond its traditional fillings, embodying 15 00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:10,960 the spirit of innovation and diversity. 16 00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:12,840 So now you know. 17 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,680 And now you know what time it is. 18

00:01:32,000 By afternoon, onshore wind introduces sloppier conditions. 21 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,960 Friday brings a blend of chast to head-high waves from the North Pacific swell, with the 22 00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:42,580 day likely to be windy, big and less favorable to say the least. 23 00:01:42,580 --> 00:01:46,280 Conditions are set to improve gradually into the weekend. 24 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:53,520 On Thursday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking fair at 2 feet until noon. 25 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,680 That it's gonna be a big mess until Saturday morning. 26 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:04,400 Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a 4-foot high tide, when the West-Southwest swell is 27 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:10,000 1 foot at 18 seconds and the onshore wind is

highlighting a deliberate beautification effort that began decades 56 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,240 ago. 57 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,960 Initiated by Lady Bird Johnson in 1985, the program aimed to enhance U.S. highways by 58 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:49,680 allocating a portion of federal funds to seed wildflowers, focusing initially on drought-tolerant 59 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,200 varieties. 60 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:59,080 Since 1995, California's focus has shifted to native species, including California poppies 61 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:05,440 and San Diego sunflowers, to combat erosion and enrich the landscape. 62 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,220 While these efforts offer aesthetic pleasure to drivers, Caltrans warns against stopping 63 00:05:10,220 --> 00:05:17,960 on freeways to admire the flora. 64 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,080 Now on to sports. 65 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,840 The Houston Texans have made a strategic move by acquiring wide receiver Stefan Diggs from 66 00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:32,360 the Buffalo Bills, aiming to provide quarterback C.J. Stroud with an enhanced supporting cast. 67 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:39,040 Diggs, celebrated for his consistent performance, joins a dynamic Texans offense, potentially 68 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,320 elevating the team's prospects for the upcoming season. 69 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,120 This acquisition aligns with the principle of building a robust team around a young quarterback 70 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:54,720 to foster development and avoid the pitfalls that have hindered other NFL teams. 71 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,880 Diggs' experience and versatility are expected to play a pivotal role in Houston's offensive 72 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:06,840 strategy, further solidifying their position as contenders in the A.S.C. South. 73 00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:15,360 Tonight in local sports, the Padres at home beat the Cardinals 3-2, and the Lakers on 74 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,480 the road beat the Wizards 125-120. 75 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,880 In national hockey, the Kings at home beat the Kraken 5-2. 76 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:32,880 Tonight, the Clippers are at home to take on the Nuggets, and the Kings head on the 77 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:38,000 road to San Jose to skate with the Sharks. 78 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,880 In top news, the White House has instructed NASA to develop a new time standard for the 79 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:51,160 moon, known as Coordinated Lunar Time, or LTC, by 2026. 80 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,020 This initiative aims to facilitate future lunar missions amid a burgeoning space race 81 00:06:56,020 --> 00:06:58,480 among global powers. 82 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:05,480 LTC is designed to ensure precision in navigation, communication, and interoperability for space 83 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:11,640 activities, accommodating the unique temporal dynamics of the moon's environment. 84 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,640 This effort underscores the importance of international cooperation, especially among 85 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:22,560 the Artemis Accord signatories, to advance space exploration and establish a permanent 86 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,580 human presence on the moon and beyond. 87 00:07:27,580 --> 00:07:35,380 In business news, Paramount Global Stock surged by 15% amid progressing deal discussions with 88 00:07:35,380 --> 00:07:41,860 Skydance Media, hinting at a potential significant shift in the media landscape. 89 00:07:41,860 --> 00:07:47,560 This spike occurred after reports of a 30-day exclusive negotiation window agreed upon by 90 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,400 Paramount. 91 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,500 These discussions could lead to Skydance acquiring national amusements, which holds considerable 92 00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:57,120 control over Paramount. 93 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,840 Paramount, known for its mass media holdings, including Paramount Pictures and CBS, has 94 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:09,440 faced financial pressures, including a recent downgrade of its debt, to junk status. 95 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,280 The potential deal could reshape Paramount, a conglomerate built into a media giant by 96 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,400 the late Sun or Redstone, as it navigates the evolving entertainment industry and its 97 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,340 challenges. 98 00:08:21,340 --> 00:08:31,320 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now just over $65,000, Ethereum is at $3,200, and Solana 99 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,000 is $182. 100 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,380 Moving on to a more local vibe. 101 00:08:39,380 --> 00:08:45,320 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 102 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,480 to bring you some free classes, so

00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:35,640 NASA has awarded contracts to Ventry Astrolab, Intuitive Machines, and Lunar Outpost for 113 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,880 the development of autonomous moon rovers. 114 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,520 These rovers are intended to support both cargo and manned missions on the moon's 115 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,920 surface, particularly focusing on the lunar South Pole's exploration. 116 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,280 This initiative is part of NASA's Artemis program, aiming to establish a long-term presence 117 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,080 on the moon. 118 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:03,640 The contracts, valued at a maximum of nearly $5 billion over 15 years, signify NASA's 119 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,840 commitment to fostering a lunar economy by partnering with commercial entities that can 120 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,800 also pursue independent commercial opportunities. 121 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:19,440 The rovers will enable extensive scientific exploration and support for astronauts, enhancing 122 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:25,080 the capacity for discovery and the potential for sustainable lunar operations. 123 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:35,200 And in entertainment news, a fifth installment of the Matrix franchise is officially in development, 124 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,520 with Lana Wachowski returning as executive producer.

00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:53,280 Warner Bros.
