1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,600
I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, April 16th.

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,440
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,680
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,760
and entertainment.

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:30,840
At first, you'll be interested to know, 21 years ago, today, in 2003.

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,840
At age 40, Michael Jordan, widely regarded as the best player in the history of basketball,

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,800
played his last game in the NBA.

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:46,320
He finished with six championships, six NBA Finals, MVP trophies, and was league MVP in

10
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,920
five separate seasons.

11
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,800
So now you know.

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,640
And now you know what time it is.

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,720
It's time for the surf report.

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:04,920
Expect a fresh south-southwest swell to roll in, with good southerly exposures going waist

15
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,560
to stomach high in the morning, then chest to shoulder high later in the day.

16
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,960
Tuesday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking good and clean, at 3 to 5 feet until

17
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:18,560
9.

18
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,040
Then fair until 1.

19
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,440
After that, the chop rolls in.

20
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:31,920
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a 2.5 foot outgoing tide when the southeast swell

21
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:38,380
is 2 feet at 18 seconds and the offshore wind is 2 mile per hour.

22
00:01:38,380 --> 00:01:44,600
The first high tide Tuesday will be 4 feet just after 4.30 a.m. with a 0 foot low tide

23
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,600
at noon.

24
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:53,880
The near shore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 60 degrees for the water temperature.

25
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,760
Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area.

26
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:04,800
This morning it's partly cloudy and feels like 52 degrees with 3 mile per hour wind.

27
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:11,380
The sunsad will take place at 719 and it will rise again tomorrow at 615.

28
00:02:11,380 --> 00:02:17,100
It looks like we're in for a sunny day with a high near 63 and wind of 5 to 10 mile per

29
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:20,480
hour tonight.

30
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:27,920
Patchy fog after 11 otherwise partly cloudy with a low around 55.

31
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:30,120
Looking ahead in the weather.

32
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:37,940
Wednesday starts with patchy fog then turns partly sunny with a high near 65 degrees.

33
00:02:37,940 --> 00:02:43,920
Pocky fog returns overnight with increasing clouds and a low around 57.

34
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:50,120
Thursday begins foggy then turns partly sunny with a high near 63.

35
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,560
Friday will be mostly cloudy with highs in the low 60s.

36
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,560
Bonjour, food enthusiasts.

37
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,600
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

38
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:09,640
Nestled on El Camino Real South just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven

39
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:12,400
for culinary delights.

40
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,000
Indulge in their amazing eggs benedict or their gluten-free crepes.

41
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,760
You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.

42
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,760
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

43
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,200
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

44
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,560
Any morning send you.

45
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:40,320
In local news, San Diego County residents and businesses have been granted an extended

46
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,400
deadline to file their taxes this year.

47
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,160
Now due on June 17th instead of April 15th.

48
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,800
This extension is in response to the severe storms and flooding that occurred in late

49
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:53,800
January.

50
00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:01,720
It applies automatically to those in designated disaster areas and covers various tax obligations

51
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:08,000
including individual income tax returns, IRA and health savings account contributions

52
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,080
and estimated tax payments for 2024.

53
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,960
Those requiring further time beyond the new June deadline are advised to apply for an

54
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,480
additional extension.

55
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:30,200
For further details, visit the IRS website or your local tax authority website.

56
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,320
Now on to sports.

57
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:37,280
In recent years, Major League Baseball has faced numerous challenges, not least of which

58
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:42,880
concern the very tools of the game, the baseballs and uniforms.

59
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,240
Since MLB's purchase of the baseball manufacturer Rawlings, there have been ongoing issues with

60
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,560
the baseballs, complicating things further.

61
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,640
Players like Kenley Jansen and Pete Fairbanks have voiced significant frustrations over

62
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:03,880
the quality of the baseballs, specifically grip problems that differ from past complaints

63
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,900
about the balls being overly juiced.

64
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:13,580
These grip issues persisting since the acquisition are impacting pitchers ability to perform

65
00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:20,560
consistently and safely, a stark shift from 2022 when the main concerns were aerodynamic

66
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,840
changes due to manufacturing inconsistencies.

67
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:30,440
Additionally, MLB players are contending with new uniform issues.

68
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,400
This season's uniforms, produced by Nike and Fanatics, are lighter but have raised

69
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:42,520
eyed rows due to their see-through fabric, leading to discomfort and a lack of practicality.

70
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,800
Both these issues with the baseballs and uniforms underscore a growing concern about the attention

71
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:55,320
to detail and quality control in MLB, affecting both the integrity of the sport and the athletes'

72
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,240
performance.

73
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:06,040
Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Brewers 7-3.

74
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,880
And in national hockey, the Kings at home beat the Wild 3-1.

75
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:17,400
Tonight, the Padres are on to game two against the Brewers.

76
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:23,320
And the Lakers are on the road in New Orleans to take on the Pelicans.

77
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:29,200
In top news, around the world, some of the most remarkable architectural wonders are

78
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:35,240
at risk, necessitating urgent conservation efforts to prevent their demise.

79
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:43,280
In Valonia, Italy, the 157-foot Torre Garacenda, a 12th century structure with a notable lean,

80
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:50,080
is receiving intervention, using techniques that stabilized the leaning tower of Pisa.

81
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:56,280
Similarly, England's Hearst Castle is under reinforcement due to erosion from relentless

82
00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:02,080
sea waves, while Egypt's ancient site of Abydos faces threats from looting, prompting

83
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,120
heightened security and preservation efforts.

84
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,600
In Western Australia, the expansive rock art site of Miradjuga is battling pollution from

85
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:17,080
nearby industrial activities, even as it gains some protection through expansion into the

86
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,520
national park.

87
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:25,880
Teotihuacan in Mexico, overwhelmed by the impacts of overtourism and environmental wear,

88
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:31,720
is seeing initiatives for sustainable tourism and structural preservation.

89
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:37,080
Each of these sites showcases the global challenge of preserving historical legacies against

90
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:43,040
modern threats, underscoring the crucial role of conservation in maintaining our cultural

91
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,800
heritage.

92
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:52,520
In business news, Tigerwood's choice in putters has sparked not just a trend, but an asset

93
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,160
class among golf enthusiasts.

94
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:02,200
Scotty Cameron's custom clubs, especially the Tour putters known as Circle T's, command

95
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:09,360
hefty prices, with values stretching from $2,000 to $8,000 per club, and can resell

96
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,480
for much more.

97
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,680
This fervor isn't limited to the clubs.

98
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,960
Associated merchandise, like head covers, can also fetch high prices, reflecting the

99
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,760
putter's status as both functional sports equipment and collectible art pieces.

100
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:30,440
Cameron's designs, which have been wielded by pros like Woods and Brooks' Copca, carry

101
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,480
a mystique enhanced by their aesthetic appeal and rarity, fueling a collector's market

102
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,320
akin to luxury brands.

103
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,560
The Allure is so potent that even a backup putter made for Woods fetched nearly $400,000

104
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:46,240
at auction.

105
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,380
With such high stakes, these putters are seen not just as sports tools, but as investments

106
00:08:51,380 --> 00:08:58,680
and art, bridging the gap between athleticism and craftsmanship in the golfing world.

107
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:04,440
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $63,000.

108
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,520
Ethereum is at $3,000.

109
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:13,400
And Solana is $134.

110
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,720
Moving on to a more local vibe.

111
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:22,660
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

112
00:09:22,660 --> 00:09:27,000
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

113
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,280
Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area.

114
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

115
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,520
and elevating mental well-being.

116
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,840
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

117
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:51,160
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

118
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,400
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

119
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,520
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

120
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,240
And now back to the show.

121
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,200
Let's talk science.

122
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,920
Top astronomers are gathering at London's Royal Society to critically reassess long-standing

123
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:18,080
cosmological theories, including the centriole belief that the universe expands at a constant

124
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,680
rate.

125
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:25,920
Spearheaded by Oxford cosmologist Suvar Sarkar, this revaluation comes amid growing evidence

126
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:32,640
suggesting the universe may be expanding unevenly, a phenomenon that could fundamentally alter

127
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,880
our understanding of cosmic dynamics.

128
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:43,240
Sarkar's research into over a million quasars indicates a possible lopsided universe, challenging

129
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:50,020
the conventional role of dark energy and the uniformity assumed in the cosmological constant.

130
00:10:50,020 --> 00:10:55,240
This paradigm shift could reshape physics, prompting a thorough review of what we perceive

131
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,240
as the fabric of the universe.

132
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:07,280
And in entertainment news, Chris Hemsworth's attempt to star in Kevin Costner's new directorial

133
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:14,240
project was unsuccessful as Costner decided to take on the lead role himself.

134
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:20,000
The movie, described as an abstract and interesting love story involving a horse wrangler, drew

135
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,040
Hemsworth's interest, partly due to his own fondness for horses.

136
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,360
Despite Hemsworth's efforts and interest, Costner, feeling he was still fit for the

137
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:37,000
role, chose to cast himself, suggesting Hemsworth look for another project.

138
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,520
This undisclosed film is separate from Costner's current work on his western epic Horizon,

139
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,320
which involves multiple installments and a broad and sumble cast.

140
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:53,360
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

141
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,400
And today, our quote comes from Michael Jordan.

142
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,160
And number 24 said,

143
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,120
Some people want it to happen.

144
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,160
Some wish it would happen.

145
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,480
And others make it happen.

146
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,040
And that's a wrap for this morning.

147
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:16,920
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

148
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,440
with local news and the surf reports.

149
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,400
Have an amazing day, my good friends.

150
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,960
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
