00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,800
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,880
I'm your host Melissa and it's Wednesday, August 28th.

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,040
You'll be interested to know.

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:24,680
Sixty-one years ago, today, in 1963, approximately 200,000 people marched on Washington, D.C.,

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,160
an event that became a high point of the civil rights movement, especially remembered for

6
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:35,000
the famous, I Have a Dream speech of Martin Luther King Jr.

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,080
So now you know.

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:43,240
And now it's time for the Surf Report.

9
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,960
Expect me to thigh-high swell throughout the week.

10
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,760
On Wednesday and Thursday mornings, conditions will be glassy with light offshore winds,

11
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,480
becoming semi-choppy in the afternoons with stronger onshore winds.

12
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,680
Friday and Saturday mornings will also be glassy with variable winds, turning bumpy

13
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,520
in the afternoons.

14
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:11,720
Wednesday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking glassy in the morning until 10 at

15
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:12,720
2 feet.

16
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:19,640
Then it gets a little choppy midday, but should ease up for a fair sunset session.

17
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:26,800
Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a 2.5-foot incoming high tide when the south-southwest

18
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:34,160
swell is 1.5 feet at 10 seconds and the onshore wind is 0 mile per hour.

19
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:41,800
The first low tide Wednesday will be 0 foot at 12.45 a.m. with a 3.5-foot high tide at

20
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,240
8.

21
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:50,860
The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 74 degrees for the water temperature.

22
00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:57,000
This morning it's foggy and feels like 62 degrees with no wind.

23
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:03,660
The sunset will take place at 717 and it will rise again tomorrow at 621.

24
00:02:03,660 --> 00:02:08,800
It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 this morning clearing up to be partly

25
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:15,400
sunny with temperatures peaking near 70 and a gentle southwest breeze.

26
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:25,320

27
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:31,680
Looking ahead in the weather, expect patchy fog each morning before 11 a.m. through Sunday

28
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,320
clearing by mid-morning.

29
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,480

30
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:45,880
Winds will have patchy fog after 11 p.m. with lows around 66 and mostly cloudy skies.

31
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,120
Bonjour, food enthusiasts.

32
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,120

33
00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:01,220
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven

34
00:03:01,220 --> 00:03:04,000
for culinary delights.

35
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,560

37
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,000
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

38
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,760
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

39
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,120
Sunny mornings send you.

40
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:33,000
In local news, 17,000 policyholders in California are losing fire insurance as Liberty Mutual

41
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,040
subsidiary pulls back.

42
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:42,400
Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company is discontinuing its fire insurance line in California, citing

43
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,160
the retirement of antiquated technology.

44
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,160
The non-renewals, starting in September and lasting through November, affect approximately

45
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,860
17,000 dwelling fire policyholders.

46
00:03:55,860 --> 00:04:01,480
This move impacts policies in multiple states, not just California.

47
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,960
Liberty Mutual, the seventh largest property and casualty insurer in California, still

48
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,920
offers dwelling fire insurance through its Safeco brand, though affected policyholders

49
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,720
were not immediately offered new policies.

50
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:25,760
This situation highlights broader issues in California's home insurance market.

51
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,240
Now on to sports.

52
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,440
The National Football League is set to allow private equity firms to buy into teams, a

53
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,960
significant shift for the world's most lucrative league.

54
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:43,280
This change, approved in a recent meeting, now allows team owners to sell up to 10% of

55
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:46,520
their teams to pre-approved firms.

56
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:53,400
The initial list includes Arctos, Ayres Management, 6th Street, and a consortium featuring Blackstone,

57
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,080
Carlisle, CVC, and Dynasty Equity.

58
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,320
Strict rules apply, including no governance rights and a minimum six-year holding period.

59
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,020
This policy opens the door for billions of dollars to flow into the league, enhancing

60
00:05:09,020 --> 00:05:12,520
franchise valuations.

61
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:20,360
In local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Cardinals 7-5.

62
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,880
And tonight, they're back at it for game three of the four-game series.

63
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:33,640
In top news, the number of thousand dollar per night hotel rooms has soared as wealthy

64
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,680
travelers embrace eye-popping rates.

65
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,400
Paying $1,000 may no longer secure a swank suite or Primo View.

66
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:49,800
At the Ritz-Carlton New York Nomad, a standard room costs $1,300 for the first weekend in

67
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,560
October.

68
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:58,400
The Four Seasons Miami Surfside charges $1,500 with an advance discount.

70
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,080
of the year, up from 22 in 2019.

71
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,740
European hotels have tripled to 183.

72
00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:21,520
Hotels capitalize on affluent travelers, boosting rates as a psychological signal of their superiority.

73
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:28,840
In business news, IKEA has launched a new secondhand marketplace for pre-owned furniture

74
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:35,580
aimed at helping the company compete with resale sites like eBay, Gumtree, and Finn.

75
00:06:35,580 --> 00:06:41,880
The pilot program, called IKEA Pre-Owned, will be tested in Madrid, Spain, and Oslo,

76
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,360
Norway through the end of the year.

77
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,280
Customers in these cities can buy and sell pre-owned IKEA items, with listings featuring

78
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:53,600
photos and prices set by sellers.

79
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:59,240
According to IKEA's chief executive Jesper Brodin, this initiative reflects the company's

80
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,200
confidence in evolving digitally.

81
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,900
The marketplace may charge a symbolic fee in the future to enhance the experience for

82
00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:09,600
both sellers and buyers.

83
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:15,800

86
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,220
Moving on to a more local vibe.

87
00:07:29,220 --> 00:07:35,160
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

88

00:07:49,660 --> 00:07:54,000
tension, and elevating mental well-being.

92
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,360

And now back to the show.

97
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,440
Let's talk science.

98
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:24,080
Boeing's Starliner is set to return to Earth next week, but its crew will remain in space

99
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,760
until next year.

100
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,760
This situation raises significant questions for Boeing's space business.

101
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:37,440
NASA announced that the crew will return on a SpaceX ship, prompting inquiries about Starliner's

102
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,840
future.

103
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:44,160
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson expressed full confidence in Boeing's future flights, but

104
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,740
not everyone shares this optimism.

105
00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:54,160
The mission faced glitches, extending the crew's stay from eight days to eight months.

106
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:59,520
Industry experts suggest Boeing might reconsider its focus on human spaceflight, given its

107
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,680
recent struggles and financial losses.

108
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:08,000
Entertainment news.

109
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,040
Francis Ford Coppola, renowned filmmaker, expressed to Rolling Stone that his aim with

110
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:19,480
Megalopolis was to avoid it being branded as some woke Hollywood production.

111
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:25,160
The film's cast features controversial figures like John Voight and Shia LaBeouf.

112
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,880
Coppola emphasized the cast includes people who were canceled.

113
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:35,400
He appreciated LaBeouf's intense approach, comparing him to Dennis Hopper.

114
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,280
Megalopolis stars Adam Driver and includes a notable supporting cast.

115
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:47,040
Despite controversy at Cannes, including allegations against Coppola, Lionsgate will release the

116
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:52,720
film in theaters on September 27th, with a screening at the Toronto International Film

117
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:53,720
Festival.

118
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:59,800
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

119
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:06,720
And today, our quote comes from the American civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Jr.

120
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:13,520
And he said, darkness cannot drag out darkness, only light can do that.

121
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:18,840
Hate cannot drag out hate, only love can do that.

122
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,400
And that's a wrap for this morning.

123
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:27,300
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,760
