Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Tuesday, September 24th.
You'll be interested to know.
33 years ago, today, in 1991, the American alternative rock group Nirvana released its

In local news, the Chopper Olands Conservancy is moving forward with an extensive plan for
habitat restoration in the Delmar Mesa Preserve.
This plan identifies 19 potential locations for restoring damaged vegetation while also
promoting recreational activities that protect sensitive species.
Presenting to the San Diego Parks and Recreation Board on September 19th, Mark Verninger, the
natural resource manager, praised the Conservancy's partnership with the city, noting five successful
restoration projects since 2010.
The Conservancy recently signed a 25 year license agreement with the department, aiming
to secure grant funding and obtain a grading permit to continue these vital projects.
Now on to sports.
Last night on Monday Night Football, we got a double header filled with action.
The Buffalo Bills routed the Jabbores 47-10, with Josh Allen throwing four touchdown passes
and leading Buffalo to a dominant victory.
The Bills defense stifled Trevor Lawrence, keeping Jacksonville winless on the season.
Meanwhile, the Washington commanders held off a late rally from the Cincinnati Bengals
to win 38-33.
Washington's Jaden Daniels threw three touchdown passes, including a key late strike to Terry
McLaurin that sealed the victory.
Joe Burrough's 436 passing yards weren't enough for the Bengals, as Washington's defense
came up big when it mattered most.
Both the Bills and commanders moved to 2-1 on the season, while the Jabbores remained
winless and the Bengals fall to 0-3.
Bounds are already looking ahead to next week's matchups as teams continue to jockey for position
early in the season.
In local sports.
Last night, the Padres were off, but they will return to action tonight as they head
to Los Angeles to face the division-leading Dodgers.
Michael King will take the mound for the Friars, while Landon Nack will start for the Dodgers.
The Padres, currently sitting at 90-66, aim to close the gap in the NL West standings.
First pitch is set for 7-10, and the Padres will aim to continue their push for a strong
playoff position as the season nears its end.
In top news, a key inflation report is set to be released on Friday, with forecasters
predicting the annual inflation rate will decline to 2.2% in August, down from 2.5%
in July.
Price increases for goods and services have settled to pre-pandemic levels following a
surge that began in 2021.
Officials at the Federal Reserve, confident in price stabilization, have cut interest
rates to support the economy.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is expected to report a 2.3% year-over-year increase in
the cost of living, reflecting a significant deceleration from the highs of June 2022.
In business news, investing wisely requires patience and discipline, traits that are essential
yet challenging to maintain.
Surprisingly, the leading path to millionaire status for Americans does not rely on savvy
real estate deals or early startup investments.
Instead, it is achieved through consistent and automatic contributions from paychecks
into retirement accounts.
A recent report from Fidelity reveals a record number of 401k millionaires on its platform.
However, the investing landscape can be distracting, as rising markets may tempt investors to treat
the stock market like a casino, exemplified by the growing popularity of leveraged and
inverse exchange traded funds.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $63,100.
Ethereum is just under $2,400.
And Solana is $144.
Moving on to a more local vibe.

Let's talk science.
Scientists have captured Earth's climate over the last 485 million years, revealing
a history of wild shifts and far hotter temperatures than previously understood.
This ambitious effort, published in the journal Science, combines over 150,000 pieces of fossil
evidence with advanced climate models.
The data shows a strong link between carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures.
At its peak, Earth's average temperature may have reached 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
These findings highlight the urgent challenges posed by human-induced climate change, according
to researcher Emily Judd.
Entertainment news.
True Detective is gearing up for its fifth season, officially titled Night Country.
The anthology series, which first captivated audiences in 2014 with Woody Harrelson and
Matthew McConaughey, recently reignited interest after Jodie Foster won the series' first
acting Emmy.
8PO's content chief, Casey Boyce, provided updates in a recent post-Emmys discussion,
although showrunner Issa Lopez has yet to confirm if Night Country will remain in the
title.
With the fourth season surpassing the original's viewership, fans are eager to see what surprises
await in this new chapter.
Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

And that's a wrap for this morning.
