00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,880
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:13,080
I'm your host Melissa, and it's Wednesday, August 21st.

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,920
You'll be interested to know.

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:24,880
113 years ago, today, in 1911, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,840
by three Italian handymen, and it was not recovered until two years later.

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:38,120
The media sensation surrounding the theft helped make it one of the world's most famous paintings.

7
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,200
So now you know.

8
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:46,360
And now it's time for the Surf Report.

9
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:52,280
Expect me to waste high swell on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, with semi-glassy conditions

10
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:59,800
and light offshore winds becoming semi-choppy in the afternoons with stronger onshore winds.

11
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:05,560
Friday and Saturday mornings will see waist-to-shoulder high swell with glassy conditions, turning

12
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:11,160
semi-choppy in the afternoons with onshore winds.

13
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,920
Wednesday in Encinitas and North County.

14
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,960
It's looking clean to fare in the morning until 11 at two to three feet.

15
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:23,680
Then conditions turn choppy until sunset.

16
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,120
Might get some fair conditions to close out the day.

17
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:33,600
Best underride is at 6 a.m. with a half-foot incoming low tide when the south swell is

18
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,560
two feet at 13 seconds and the onshore wind is six mile per hour.

19
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:45,600
The first high tide Wednesday will be five foot at 1115 a.m. with a one foot low tide

20
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,400
at five.

21
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:54,880
The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 76 degrees for the water temperature.

22
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:02,180
This morning it's foggy and feels like 66 degrees with eight mile per hour wind.

23
00:02:02,180 --> 00:02:09,160
The sunset will take place at 726 and it will rise again tomorrow at 617.

24
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:14,380
It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 this morning clearing up for mostly

25
00:02:14,380 --> 00:02:20,800
sunny skies with temperatures near 73 and a gentle south breeze.

26
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:31,320
Tonight expect patchy fog after 11 with mostly cloudy skies and a low of 67.

27
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,800
Looking ahead in the weather.

28
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,760
Expect patchy fog each morning through Thursday gradually clearing by mid-morning.

29
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:46,520
Daytime highs will be in the upper 60s to low 70s with light southwest winds.

30
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,520
Nights will be mostly cloudy with lows in the mid-60s.

31
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,800
Bonjour food enthusiasts.

32
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,800
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

33
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:05,920
Nestled on El Camino Real South just north of Encinitas Boulevard this cafe is a haven

34
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:08,680
for culinary delights.

35
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,240
Indulge in their amazing eggs benedict or their gluten free crates.

36
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,040
You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.

37
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,000
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

38
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,440
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

39
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,800
Sunny mornings send you.

40
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:37,800
In local news San Diego received $83 million on Monday to fund highway improvement projects

41
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,920
courtesy of the California Transportation Commission.

42
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,360
This is part of a broader effort to enhance critical transportation infrastructure across

43
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,880
the state.

44
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:55,600
Last week the commission designated nearly $2 billion for infrastructure improvements.

45
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:02,720
Seven projects in San Diego were funded including $36 million for the Ote Mesa Eastland Port

46
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,200
of Entry and $23 million for the 15 Highway.

47
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,160
According to Caltrans Director Tony Taveras these funds will help improve the state's

48
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:22,320
highways, rest areas, bikeways and pedestrian routes.

49
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,720
Now on to sports.

50
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,440
Tom Brady, now a rookie broadcaster, expressed his frustration over the game being downed

51
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:36,360
down for rookie quarterbacks during a conversation with Stephen A. Smith at the Fanatic Span

52
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,120
Fest.

53
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,600
Brady lamented that young quarterbacks are forced to play early because the game has

54
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,600
been simplified.

55
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:50,000
He noted, we used to spend hours in the off season in training camp trying to be better,

56
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,360
but now coaches don't go deep because players cannot.

57
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,640
Brady also criticized college football, stating that players now learn a playbook instead

58
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,640
of a program.

59
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:08,400
He believes the game has changed, but opinions on whether it's better or worse bury.

60
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:16,320
In local sports, the Padres at home beat the Twins 7-5.

61
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,560
And tonight, they're back at it for game three of the series.

62
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:30,440
In top news, worsening air pollution is causing lung cancer rates to rise globally.

63
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,860
In Taiwan, a majority of new cases affect non-smokers, offering powerful lessons for

64
00:05:35,860 --> 00:05:37,920
the world.

65
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,760
Two-thirds of lung cancer patients there have never smoked.

66
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,720
Studies show increasing lung cancer rates among non-smokers, with air pollution as a

67
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,360
key factor.

68
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:55,920
Taiwan's robust screening programs have improved early detection and survival rates.

69
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:01,760
The United States could benefit from similar strategies to address rising lung cancer cases

70
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,800
among never-smokers.

71
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:11,520
In business news, the notion hitting another all-time high on Tuesday.

72
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:21,440
Its spot price rose to $2,543.76 per troy ounce, marking a record in a year where the S&P 500

73
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,800
index also gained 18%.

74
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,560
Persistent demand from global central banks may explain this trend.

75
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,840
They bought a record amount of gold in the first half of the year, with plans to increase

76
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:36,120
reserves further.

77
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:42,320
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $59,400.

78
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,160
Ethereum is just under $2,600.

79
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,800
And Solana is $142.

80
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,260
Moving on to a more local vibe.

81
00:06:55,260 --> 00:07:01,200
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

82
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,360
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

83
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,440
Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the San Diego area.

84
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:16,560
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

85
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,520
and elevating mental well-being.

86
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,360
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

87
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:29,640
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

88
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,920
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

89
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,080
Just be sure to tell them, Sunny Morning sent you by.

90
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,760
And now, back to the show.

91
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,960
Let's talk science.

92
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:51,280
Against all odds, an asteroid mining company, Astroforge, is making headway.

93
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:57,840
Co-founders Josea Cain and Matt Galich have successfully raised $40 million in funding,

94
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,160
bringing their total to $55 million.

95
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:09,120
In April 2023, Astroforge launched the Brocker One mission on a SpaceX transporter flight,

96
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,040
but encountered technical issues.

97
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,580
They are now preparing for the Odin mission, set to launch later this year, aiming to fly

98
00:08:16,580 --> 00:08:20,400
by a near-Earth, metallic-rich asteroid.

99
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:26,800
Additionally, they plan to launch the Vestry mission in 2025, intending to dock with and

100
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,280
sample an asteroid.

101
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,120
The Entertainment News.

102
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:40,280
The new film, It Ends with Us, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, is marketed as

103
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:47,320
a love story, but it delves deeply into the complexities and heartbreaks of domestic violence.

104
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,800
Bridget Stumpf, founder and executive director of Network for Victim Recovery of Washington,

105
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,480
D.C., highlights the importance of content warnings for sensitive topics.

106
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:04,160
Stumpf criticizes the film for not providing adequate warnings or resources for survivors,

107
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,040
emphasizing the need for trauma-informed storytelling.

108
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:14,280
She suggests that Hollywood adopt practices from TV shows, offering pre- and post-production

109
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,360
support to ensure viewers are prepared and cared for.

110
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:24,080
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

111
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:30,040
And today, our quote comes from the French painter, Eugene Delacroix.

112
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,040
And he said,

113
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:38,560
What moves men of genius, or rather what inspires their work, is not new ideas, but their obsession

114
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:44,800
with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.

115
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,360
And that's a wrap for this morning.

116
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:53,280
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

117
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,720
with local news and the surf reports.

118
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,720
Have an amazing day, my good friends.

119
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:27,280
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
