Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, August 20th.
You'll be interested to know.
One hundred and four years ago, today in 1920, the National Football League was formed as
the American Professional Football Conference at a meeting in Canton, Ohio.
This historic event marked the beginning of what would become one of the most popular
and influential sports leagues in the world, fostering a new era of professional football.
So now you know.
And now it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect waist-high ground swell on Tuesday, with glassy morning conditions and light offshore

4.
The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 76 degrees for the water temperature.
This morning it's partly sunny and feels like 66 degrees with no wind.
The sunset will take place at 727 and it will rise again tomorrow at 616.
It looks like we're in for some mostly sunny skies today with temperatures near 73 and
a gentle northwest breeze.
Tonight expect partly cloudy skies with a low around 69 and light winds.
Looking ahead in the weather.

In local news, the US men's national team legend Landon Donovan has been named interim
head coach of the San Diego Wave for the remainder of the 2024 national women's soccer season.
Donovan, age 42, replaces Paul Buckle, whose interim role was limited to the summer.
San Diego's sporting director, Camille Ashton, expressed gratitude to Buckle and enthusiasm
for Donovan, citing his extensive experience and player first mentality.
Donovan aims to revive the team, which currently holds a three win, six draw, seven lost record
and is out of playoff contention.
The Wave will participate in the CONCACAF Champions Cup and resume league play on August
24th.
Now on to sports.
The NFL's new kickoff rule introduced in March aims to increase kickoff returns while
reducing injuries.
Early preseason results show a significant rise in returns, with a 78% return rate compared
to 22% last season.
Chief medical officer, Dr. Alan Sills, noted no unusual injury findings so far.
The average kickoff return now spans 25 yards, up from 23 yards last season, with more explosive
plays observed.
NFL executives remain open to further tweaks, monitoring closely as the regular season approaches,
to ensure the rule's effectiveness.
In local sports, the Padres at home beat the Twins 5-3.
And tonight, they're back at it for Game 2 of the series.
In top news, used cars are now more than 10% cheaper than last year, largely due to rising
inventories of new cars and discounts to move those vehicles off-lot sooner.
Consumer prices rose modestly in July, mainly on housing costs, but prices for used cars
and trucks dropped by 10.9% year over year.
Used electric vehicle prices fell even more sharply by nearly 21% in the second quarter
of 2023 and almost 40% from the second quarter of 2022.
Analysts at Edmunds.
Some noted that new car discounts and increased inventory turnover have driven down the values
of newer used vehicles.
In business news, Berkshire Hathaway stock has reached a record high, aligning with recent
market dynamics.
Class B shares surged 1%, hitting $448.77.
Comparatively, the S&P 500 rose 1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased
by 0.6%.
Part of this success stems from CEO Warren Buffett's strategic bets on Occidental Petroleum
and other oil stocks.
Additionally, Berkshire's exposure to financial and utility stocks has bolstered its performance.
Despite slightly lagging behind the S&P 500 over 15 years, Buffett's investment acumen
remains highly regarded, especially amidst tech valuation concerns and recession fears.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $60,800.
Ethereum is just under $2,700.
And Solana is $146.

Let's talk tech.
Speculation is growing about Apple's upcoming iPhone 16, expected to be unveiled in September.
The tech giant, led by CEO Tim Cook, typically holds its iPhone event this month.
Reports suggest the event could be around September 10.
According to Mac rumors, the iPhone 16 Pro may feature a 6.27-inch screen, while the
Pro Max could boast a 6.86-inch display.
The lineup will include A18 chips for enhanced processing and improved cameras, with 48-megapixel
ultra-wide lenses.

2024.
And in entertainment news, Captain America, Brave New World, set to release on February
14, brings a new chapter to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Sam Wilson, portrayed by Anthony Mackie, takes on the mantle of Captain America.
Following the events of Eternals, the discovery of Adamantium, and the election of Thaddeus
Ross as president sets the stage for political intrigue.

unprecedented challenges, both external and internal.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett.
And he said,
We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy, and to be greedy only when others
are fearful.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
