Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Monday, June 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.
At first, you'll be interested to know, 252 years ago, today in 1772.
The burning of the Gatsby took place as a significant act of defiance against British
rule.
Rhode Islanders, led by merchant John Brown, boarded and set fire to the British cutter
Gatsby in Narragansett Bay.
The ship had run aground while pursuing a smuggling vessel.
Despite British efforts to punish the culprits, none of the raiding party were ever brought
to justice.
This bold act of rebellion marked an important moment in US colonial history, highlighting
the growing resistance against British authority.

In top news, activists are urging the FDA to ban methylene chloride, a chemical used
in decaf coffee production, due to its links to cancer and other health issues.
Methylene chloride, although widely used, has safer alternatives like the Swiss Water

Concerns are heightened for vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women.
Despite the debate, coffee brands using alternative methods are rising.

features, significant Siri upgrades for better app control, and a natural voice.

And in entertainment news, in Apple TV+, Presumed Innocent, Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Rusty Savage,
Chicago's chief deputy prosecutor accused of murdering his colleague and lover, Carolyn
Polhemus.
David E. Kelly's eight-part mini-series, based on Scott Turow's 1987 novel, refreshes the
story with less sexism than the 1990 film adaptation.
Female characters, including Rusty's wife Barbara and detective Alana Rodriguez, are
depicted as three-dimensional.
Gyllenhaal's portrayal of Rusty as a desperate enigmatic figure drives this gripping legal
thriller, which debuts on June 12th, with new episodes airing weekly on Wednesdays.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the ringleader of the attack on the Gatsby, John Brown.
And he said,
Be mild with the mild, Shrewd with the crafty, Confiding to the honest,
Rough to the ruffian, And a thunderbolt to the liar.
But in all this, never be unmindful of your own dignity.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos,

Have an amazing day, my good friends.
