Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Monday, June 24th.
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, 77 years ago, today in 1947.
Pilot Kenneth Arnold saw something mysterious while flying past Mount Rainier.
His account involving nine shiny objects moving at extraordinary speeds introduced the term
flying saucer to the world.
Despite Arnold's attempts to clarify his description, the media sensationalized the
story making flying saucers a global phenomenon.
Today with advanced technology like drones and satellites, we continue to explore the
skies urging all observers to apply critical thinking to their discoveries.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.

In local news, the new copper line in East County may replace three stations between
Santee and El Cajon, requiring transfers at the El Cajon Transit Center.
This aims to improve the green line's on-time performance.
Critics argue East County is underserved while supporters highlight system-wide benefits.
Tea and El Cajon leaders stress the need for increased security.
The proposal could save $1 million annually by using one-car trains on the copper line.
The Metropolitan Transit System Board is awaiting further analysis before approval.
Now on to sports.
Tonight, if the Edmonton Oilers win Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, it would end
a 30-year drought for Canadian teams and spark nationwide celebration.
A win would validate the Conor McDavid era, fulfill lifelong dreams for players, and reward
long-suffering fans.
For owner Darryl Katz, it would mark the completion of a 16-year journey.
Youth development, including stand-up performances by Stuart Skinner and Philip Broberg, has
been key.
Youth negotiations with Leandre Zael and Evan Bouchard will be crucial this summer.
GM, Ken Holland's legacy would be cemented and Nick David's greatness affirmed.
In local sports, the Padres at home lost to the Brewers 6-2.
And tonight, they're back at it for a three-game series with the Nationals.
And top news.
A new study suggests gently touching your arms and fingertips may help stop body-focused
repetitive behaviors like nail biting and skin picking.
Over half of participants who tried this habit replacement technique saw improvement.
This method could benefit those unable to access mental health treatment.
Researchers found that making gentle circling motions on certain body parts reduced these
addictive behaviors, which can lead to serious consequences.
Experts recommend trying this technique while remaining patient as behavior change takes
time.
If the technique is ineffective, consulting a cognitive behavioral therapist is advised.

Let's talk tech.
Silicon Valley startups are increasingly entering the defense market, driven by conflicts like
those in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Former restaurant tech entrepreneurs Lou Gallin and Steven Simone launched Allen Control Systems
to develop affordable drone countermeasures.
They join other tech founders like Palmer Lucky and Joe Lonsdale in leveraging commercial
technologies for military applications.
Technologies like D-Drone and Andoril are adapting dual-use products for defense, securing significant
venture capital investment.
While some VC funds avoid defense tech, others view it as a necessity in today's geopolitical
climate.
The trend signals a shift in Silicon Valley's relationship with the military.
And in entertainment news.
Pixar's Inside Out 2 earned $100 million in its second weekend, a 35% drop from its
debut.
It has grossed $355 million in North America and $724 million globally.
The bike riders opened at $10 million.
The Exorcism debuted at $2.4 million and Thelma earned $2.2 million.
Holdovers include Bad Boys, Ride or Die with $19 million and the Garfield movie with $3.6
million.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the Chinese philosopher, Confucius.
And Confucius said,
It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
