Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Wednesday, April 10th.
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science
and entertainment.
But first, you'll be interested to know 175 years ago, today in 1849.
The safety pin was patented by Walter Hunt.
He later sold his rights to the fastener for just $400.
Today there are only two manufacturers left in the US who make the safety pin and they
produce about 1 billion pins every year.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
Expect modest south-southwest and north-northwest swell mix Wednesday with knee-to-waist high
waves, improving with the morning tide.
Light offshore wind early, then moderate onshore westerly later.
There's a potential uptick in north-northwest swell by the weekend, with south-southwest
swell bringing waste to stomach-high waves and chest-high waves at summer standouts.
Wednesday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking good and clean at 2 to 3 feet until
10, then fair until 2.
After that, it's looking a little choppy, but maybe still rideable until sunset.
Best time to ride is at 8 a.m. with a 1.5 foot incoming tide, when the east swell is
2 feet at 16 seconds and the offshore wind is just about zero.
The first high tide Wednesday will be 4 feet just after 11.30 a.m. with a 1 foot low tide
just before 4.30.
The near shore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 60 degrees for the water temperature.
Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area, this morning it's sunny and feels
like 52 degrees with 3 mile per hour wind.
The sunset will take place at 7.15 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.23.
It looks like we're in for another sunny day with a high near 67 and wind of 5 to 10
mile per hour.
Tonight, patchy fog after 11 p.m., otherwise partly cloudy, with a low around 55.
Looking ahead in the weather, Thursday starts with patchy fog, then becomes mostly sunny
with a high near 66.
Patchy fog returns overnight with increasing clouds and a low around 56.

In local news, the California Highway Patrol intervened to disband an unauthorized ramp
rave found under Interstate 5 in San Diego's Palm City neighborhood.
Alerted around 1.30 a.m., officers arrived to find a well-organized party, complete with
sophisticated lighting, a stage, stereo systems, and generators for power.
The scene also included water and liquor bottles.
This incident is part of a troubling trend, with previous unauthorized raves halted under
the Marina Boulevard and 805 overpasses.
Police underscore the significant dangers these events pose to participants and unsuspecting
drivers on the freeways above.
Geez guys, where's my invite?
Now on to sports.
Tiger Woods, despite his extensive history of surgeries and the challenges that come
with them, remains determined as he approaches his 26 masters.
Arriving early for a practice round, Woods' presence alone captivated spectators, highlighting
his undiminished appeal.
His daily battles with pain underscore the physical toll his body has endured through
his illustrious career.
Yet, Woods' dedication to golf is unwavering, even if his practice sessions are no longer
as intensive as they once were.
His ability to compete over 72 holes is a testament to his resilience, even as the physical
demands of the game grow increasingly strenuous.
Woods' commitment to the sport and belief in his potential to win, despite recent struggles,
reflect an enduring defiance and ambition that have defined his career.

Last night in local sports.

In top news, Las Vegas, a city synonymous with opulence, faces a stark challenge—adapting
to a future with significantly less water.
With 90% of its water supply coming from the increasingly strained Colorado River, Las
Vegas embarked on stringent water conservation measures early on, contrasting with other
southwest cities.
These measures include limiting pool sizes, banning certain cooling systems, and incentivizing
turf removal, leading to a 31% reduction in river water use despite a population increase.
The urgency for conservation is heightened by record lows in major reservoirs and federal
warnings of necessary cutbacks.
Las Vegas' approach serves as a model for other cities navigating the balance between
growth and sustainability in an era of diminishing water resources.
In business news, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, shared valuable management lessons
in his 2023 shareholder letter, reflecting his extensive leadership experience.
Key takeaways include the importance of observation before action, inspired by the Budo Loop military
strategy, which emphasizes understanding the field before making decisions.
Dimon also encourages leaders to challenge the status quo, question everything, and engage
with naysayers to uncover blind spots.
He highlights the significance of long-term thinking, urging leaders to envision future
scenarios and work backward to achieve desired outcomes.
Lastly, Dimon underscores leading with integrity and heart, emphasizing the importance of trust,
respect, and fair treatment of all employees.
Also of note, Jamie Dimon is telling the public that Bitcoin in cryptocurrency is a fraud,
and its only use case is for criminals, while at the same time, his bank has created its
own crypto token and has been investing in Bitcoin.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now just under $69,000, Ethereum is at $3,500, and Solana
is $170.

The Delta IV Heavy, a hallmark of space launch capabilities, made its final journey into
the skies from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying a classified spy satellite for the National
Reconnaissance Office.
This launch not only marked the end of the Delta IV Heavy's era, but also concluded
the Delta rocket family's storied legacy, with a total of 389 missions since 1960.
Despite initial technical setbacks, the launch proceeded flawlessly, showcasing the rocket's
impressive hydrogen-fueled engines and its iconic hydrogen fireball at ignition.
This mission underscores the transition within United Launch Alliance, from the venerable
Delta and Atlas rockets to the next-generation Vulcan rocket, signaling a new chapter in
space exploration and satellite deployment.
And in entertainment news, Lady Gaga is set to star as Harley Quinn in the eagerly anticipated
Joker, Foliadour, appearing alongside Joaquin Phoenix's acclaimed Joker.
The first trailer teases a dramatic and villainous love story, showcasing moments of connection,
chaos and camaraderie between Quinn and the Joker, hinting at a departure from traditional
comic book portrayals.
With an ensemble cast including Brendan Gleeson and Catherine Keener, and directed by Todd
Phillips, the film is poised to explore the depths of these iconic characters' complex
relationship.
Scheduled for release on October 4th, the sequel builds on the success of the original
Joker film, which garnered significant acclaim and box office success.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, and the man running
the fifth-largest bank in the world, said.
There's about a dozen big financial companies, Fidelity included.
Number one, I don't care.
So just please stop talking about this s***.
This is the last time I'm ever going to state my opinion.
Bitcoin itself is a hyped up fraud.
It's a pet rock.
You're back to that?
Yeah, of course.
Really?
Yeah.
It has all the characteristics of a store of value.
It's immutable, it's scarce.
Totally untrue.
It's 21 million.
Oh yeah, really?
How do you know it's going to stop at 21 million?
Because it's Satoshi.
Everyone says that.
Well, maybe it's going to get to 21 million and Satoshi's picture is going to come up
and laugh at you all.
Bitcoin itself is a hyped up fraud.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
