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, May 14th. 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 --> 00:00:23,800 and entertainment. 6 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:31,520 But first, you'll be interested to know 51 years ago, today, in 1973. 7 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:37,480 Skylab, America's first space station and the first crewed research laboratory in space, 8 00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:41,240 lifted off on a last Saturn V rocket. 9 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,560 Although the Soviet Union orbited the first experimental space station called Salyut in 10 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:55,160 1971, the larger and more complex Skylab enabled research in several areas. 11 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,040 So now you know. 12 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,880 And now you know what time it is. 13 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:04,920 It's time for the surf report. 14 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,080 Expect fun-sized waves this week, ranging from thigh-to-waist high to chest-to-shoulder 15 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,640 high with occasional larger sets. 16 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,840 The consistent southwest swell will provide cleaner conditions in the mornings, thanks 17 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,160 to light offshore wind. 18 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:29,080 However, as the day progresses, expect wind to shift onshore, increasing to 10-15 mph 19 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,840 and creating bumpier conditions, especially in the afternoons. 20 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:41,680 Tuesday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking good and clean at 2-3 feet until 11. 21 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,360 After that, it's looking pretty rough. 22 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,280 Could be similar conditions all week. 23 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:55,080 Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a 2-foot outgoing tide when the west swell is 2 feet 24 00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:00,400 at 15 seconds and the onshore wind is 2 mph. 25 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:06,600 The first low tide Tuesday will be 0 feet just after 10 a.m. with a 4-foot high tide 26 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,300 just before 5.30. 27 00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:17,440 The nearshore buoy at Skrits in La Jolla reads 65 degrees for the water temperature. 28 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,060 Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area, this morning it's cloudy and feels 29 00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:28,120 like 58 degrees with 2-mile-per-hour wind. 30 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:34,620 The sunset will take place at 740 and it will rise again tomorrow at 549. 31 00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:40,360 It looks like we're in for a partly sunny day with a high near 63 and wind of 5 to 10 32 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,520 mile-per-hour tonight. 33 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,240 Mostly cloudy with a low around 59. 34 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:55,360 Looking ahead in the weather, Wednesday will be cloudy with a high near 63 degrees. 35 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,800 Patchy fog is possible Wednesday night through Friday night. 36 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,720 Thursday and Friday will be cloudy with highs in the low 60s. 37 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,840 Saturday will be mostly cloudy with a high near 63. 38 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,120 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 39 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,040 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Café and Pastries in Encinitas. 40 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:24,240 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this café is a haven 41 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,000 for culinary delights. 42 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,560 Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 43 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,360 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 44 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,320 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 45 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,760 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 46 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,120 Sunny mornings send you. 47 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:54,440 In local news, San Diego City Council has approved a significant initiative to create 48 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,520 a vast network of electric vehicle charging stations citywide. 49 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,140 This move will support the rise in electric vehicle ownership by ensuring chargers are 50 00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:11,520 accessible in every city library, recreation center, and beach within two years and in 51 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,120 all city buildings within five years. 52 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,720 The goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and facilitate the transition from a 5,000 53 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,360 vehicle gas-powered fleet to electric alternatives. 54 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,840 This expansion aligns with the city's broader climate goals, which include a shift towards 55 00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:42,160 zero-emission vehicles for both light and heavy-duty city vehicles by 2035. 56 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,200 Now on to sports. 57 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:52,000 At Jared Goff's stanchel $212 million contract extension, with the Detroit Lions is a strong 58 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,760 signal of the team's confidence in his leadership and ability to pursue a Super Bowl title. 59 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:04,360 This deal, which secures Goff as the highest-paid player in franchise history, is not just a 60 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,400 financial commitment but also a strategic move aligning with the Lions' ambitions 61 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:16,120 to solidify their quarterback position and bolster their roster for long-term success. 62 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:21,160 Under Goff's guidance, the Lions achieved significant milestones last season, including 63 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:28,800 reaching the NFC Championship game, showcasing his impact and justifying this lucrative renewal. 64 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,400 The organization's investment underscores their belief in Goff's potential to lead 65 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:41,440 the team to further successes and possibly secure their long-awaited championship glory. 66 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:49,360 Last night in local sports, the Padres at home lost to the Rockies 5-4. 67 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:56,600 And tonight, the Padres are at home for game two of three with the Rockies. 68 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:03,720 In top news, Red Lobster, a popular seafood restaurant chain, is currently undergoing 69 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,160 a massive liquidation of dozens of its locations. 70 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,160 This development follows abrupt closures and involves the auctioning off of entire restaurant 71 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,720 contents, including furniture, fixtures, and equipment. 72 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:24,280 At least 48 locations are being liquidated through this process across 21 states. 73 00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:29,560 This situation unfolds amid financial struggles for Red Lobster, with reports earlier this 74 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:35,680 year about potential bankruptcy considerations due to high lease and labor costs. 75 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,440 Thai union group The Controlling Stakeholder is also looking to sell its share in the chain 76 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,560 by the end of 2024. 77 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:49,160 This liquidation marks a significant scale back for a brand that operated around 650 78 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,200 locations as recently as February. 79 00:06:53,200 --> 00:07:00,360 In business news, Vinfast, a Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer, saw its stock price 80 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:07,440 surge by 52% to nearly $5 a share, marking its largest single-day gain since a previous 81 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,980 spike shortly after becoming a publicly traded company. 82 00:07:11,980 --> 00:07:16,480 This increase, occurring without specific news to drive it, aligns with broader trends 83 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:22,760 in the EV sector and a noticeable rise in maim stock activity, which often moves independently 84 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,160 of traditional market fundamentals. 85 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:32,400 High short interest and sector momentum, including gains by other EV companies, likely contributed 86 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,720 to this surge. 87 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:41,600 Despite the recent uptick, Vinfast stock remains down 46% year-to-date, reflecting ongoing 88 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:48,520 challenges such as heightened competition and slowing demand in the EV market. 89 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,280 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now over $62,400. 90 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,480 Ethereum is $2,900. 91 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:03,320 And Solana is $146. 92 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,720 Moving on to a more local vibe. 93 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:12,660 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 94 00:08:12,660 --> 00:08:16,840 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 95 00:08:16,840 -->

check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 100 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,400 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 101 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,520 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 102 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,200 And now back to the show. 103 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,200 Let's talk tech. 104 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,360 Tesla has made headlines again with a series of controversial decisions, including the 105 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:07,240 massive layoff of its supercharging team, amidst a broader reduction that even affected 106 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,800 summer interns. 107 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:15,240 This move suggests a strategic shift potentially focusing more on developing its rogo taxi 108 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:22,680 services, rather than expanding its supercharging network, which has been crucial for EV owners. 109 00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:28,200 Amidst these developments, Tesla's partnerships with Ford and GM over supercharging remain 110 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,640 unchanged, indicating that the impact of these decisions might be more nuanced within the 111 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,640 broader EV market landscape. 112 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,840 And in entertainment news. 113 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:47,240 Steve Carell has expressed his excitement about the upcoming series set in the Office 114 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,680 universe, but confirmed he will not be returning as Michael Scott. 115 00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:58,600 At the premiere of his new movie, If, Carell shared his enthusiasm for the new show, which 116 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:04,000 will revolve around a family-owned newspaper company, praising its innovative concept and 117 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,960 the involvement of actor Dom Nal Gleason. 118 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,720 Although he won't appear in the series, Carell is currently collaborating with John Krasinski 119 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:19,200 on the film, where Krasinski serves as both writer and director. 120 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:24,760 Carell highlighted Krasinski's directorial skills and expressed joy in reuniting with 121 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,200 him professionally and personally. 122 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,600 The new series will feature a fresh cast and is scheduled for release on Peacock, continuing 123 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,680 the legacy of the beloved original show. 124 00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:42,600 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 125 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:49,960 And today, our quote comes from the star of the US version of The Office, Steve Carell. 126 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,160 He said, 127 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:56,280 Children are very smart in their own stupid way. 128 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:02,520 A child's brain is like a sponge, and you know how smart sponges are. 129 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,060 And that's a wrap for this morning. 130 00:11:05,060 --> 00:11:10,960 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 131 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,680 with local news and the surf reports. 132
