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 --> 00:00:12,760
I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, October 1st.

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,920
You'll be interested to know.

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:23,440
Fifty-three years ago, today in 1971, the Walt Disney World Resort, a complex near Orlando,

5
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,260
Florida that features attractions based on the stories and characters created by the

6
00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:31,680
Disney Company, opened.

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,760
So now you know.

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:39,960
And now it's time for the Surf Report.

9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:45,560
Expect knee-high swell on Tuesday with thigh-high sets possible.

10
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,000
Conditions will be glassy in the morning with light offshore winds becoming semi-choppy

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,320
in the afternoon as winds shift to onshore.

12
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,880
Wednesday and Thursday morning will also feature glassy conditions transitioning to semi-choppy

13
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,480
in the afternoons with onshore winds.

14
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:10,800
On Friday, expect waist-high swell with glassy mornings and semi-bumpy afternoons.

15
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,800
Tuesday in Encinitas and North County.

16
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,080
It's looking clean to fare at two feet until noon.

17
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,240
After that, it's looking pretty choppy in the afternoon but should turn fair for a sunset

18
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,880
session.

19
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:33,400
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a 3-1⁄2-foot incoming high tide when the north-northwest

20
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:40,600
swell is 1 feet at 13 seconds and the variable wind is 3 mph.

21
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:49,360
The first high tide Tuesday will be 5 foot at 915 a.m. with a 1-foot low tide at 315.

22
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:56,600
The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 62 degrees for the water temperature.

23
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:03,120
This morning it's patchy fog and feels like 65 degrees with no wind.

24
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:09,840
The sunset will take place at 632 and it will rise again tomorrow at 643.

25
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,620
It looks like we're in for some patchy fog this morning clearing up for mostly sunny

26
00:02:14,620 --> 00:02:18,120
skies with a high near 70.

27
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,760
A light northwest breeze will be around 5 to 10 tonight.

28
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:30,960
Expect partly cloudy conditions with a low around 66 and light winds.

29
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,480
Looking ahead in the weather.

30
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,840
Expect patchy fog each morning through Saturday clearing by mid-morning.

31
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,760
Days will be mostly sunny with highs around 72 to 73 degrees.

32
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,640
Nights will be mostly cloudy with lows in the mid-60s to upper 60s.

33
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:52,640
Bonjour, food enthusiasts.

34
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:57,560
This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

35
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:04,740
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven

36
00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:07,520
for culinary delights.

37
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:13,080
Indulge in their amazing eggs benedict or their gluten-free crates.

38
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,840
You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee.

39
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,560
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

40
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,280
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

41
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,640
Sunny mornings send you.

42
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:34,320
In local news, in a significant change for older drivers, the California Department of

43
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:40,500
Motor Vehicles announced that individuals aged 70 and older will no longer need to take

44
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:43,560
a knowledge test for license renewal.

45
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:49,960
Previously, this test was mandatory once a driver reached 70, but now those without traffic

46
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,800
violations can skip it entirely.

47
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,680
EMV Director Steve Corton stated,

48
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,840
We are eliminating the written knowledge test to improve customer service.

49
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:06,520
However, first-time drivers and those with poor driving records must still undergo the

50
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,000
knowledge test.

51
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:18,640
Drivers recommend starting applications online to minimize office visits.

52
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,100
Now on to sports.

53
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:27,980
The 12 teams heading into the MLB postseason showcase different strategies for success.

54
00:04:27,980 --> 00:04:35,720
The Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians lead with 16 and 15 homegrown players, respectively.

55
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:42,360
The Houston Astros excel in wins above replacement, producing 30.8 from homegrown talent.

56
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,780
Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres dominate with 12 trade acquisitions, despite having only

57
00:04:48,780 --> 00:04:51,560
three homegrown players.

58
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,780
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies also stand out, with the Phillies achieving

59
00:04:56,780 --> 00:05:01,760
the highest total wins above replacement at 50.1.

60
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,160
These different approaches highlight the many ways to build a winning roster.

61
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,800
Tonight, the Houston Astros host the Detroit Tigers at Minute Maid Park, starting at 2.30

62
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:19,160
Eastern on ABC, with Astros Framber Valdez facing Tigers Tarek Schubel.

63
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:25,520
Later, the Baltimore Orioles welcome the Kansas City Royals to Camden Yards at 4 Eastern on

64
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:33,040
ESPN2, where Corbin Burns will face Royals left-hander Cole Regans.

65
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,880
The Milwaukee Brewers take on the New York Mets at American Family Field at 5.30 Eastern

66
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:45,600
on ESPN, with Freddie Peralta pitching against Luis Severino.

67
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,440
In local sports.

68
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:53,680
Tonight, the Padres kick off their five-game wild-card series, hosting the Atlanta Braves

69
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,480
at Petco Park at 5.30 on ESPN.

70
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,600
The Friars right-hander, Michael King, takes the mound, while the Braves have yet to announce

71
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,200
their starting pitcher.

72
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,160
Let's go, Padres!

73
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:15,600
In top news, Hurricane Helene has abruptly shifted the narrative of this year's hurricane

74
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,320
season, which began quietly but has now seen unprecedented storm activity.

75
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:29,280
Helene, a category 4 storm, slammed into Florida's Big Bend, fueled by exceptionally warm Caribbean

76
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:30,840
waters.

77
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:35,400
Forecasters are already warning of more storms on the horizon.

78
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:41,520
Meteorologists at Colorado State University note that climate change is complicating predictions,

79
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,480
with scientists observing an increase in major hurricanes, particularly those undergoing

80
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,340
rapid intensification.

81
00:06:49,340 --> 00:06:54,240
The unusual quiet before Helene's landfall highlights the challenges of forecasting in

82
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,120
a warming world.

83
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,440
Experts stress the need for careful study of this unpredictable season.

84
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,240
In business news.

85
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:12,920
FAIR, a platform for small businesses, experienced a meteoric rise to a valuation of $12 billion,

86
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,280
but not without facing substantial challenges.

87
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,560
Co-founder Max Rhodes reflected on the icky feeling of rapid growth, fueled by venture

88
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:28,960
capital but leading to slow customer service and operational inefficiencies.

89
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,680
As complaints mounted and growth stalled, FAIR's leadership realized they needed to

90
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,520
pivot towards sustainable growth.

91
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:42,340
By reevaluating their approach, they focused on building lasting relationships, improving

92
00:07:42,340 --> 00:07:47,240
their algorithm, and cutting low-quality suppliers.

93
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:52,880
After laying off staff and adjusting their valuation to $5 billion, they aimed to foster

94
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,240
long-term success while learning from past mistakes.

95
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:03,800
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $63,800.

96
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,480
Ethereum is just over $2,600.

97
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,960
And Solana is $155.

98
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,640
Moving on to a more local vibe.

99
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:22,580
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

100
00:08:22,580 --> 00:08:26,920
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

101
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:32,200
Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area.

102
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,960
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

103
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,920
and elevating mental well-being.

104
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,760
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

105
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:51,080
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

106
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,320
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

107
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,440
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

108
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,160
And now back to the show.

109
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,560
Let's talk science.

110
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:10,800
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a promising method

111
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,840
for recycling plastics by vaporizing them.

112
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:20,400
This innovative technique targets two common plastics, polypropylene and polyethylene,

113
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:25,580
which are notoriously difficult to recycle due to their strong carbon bonds.

114
00:09:25,580 --> 00:09:30,360
By using catalysts, the researchers can break these bonds, converting the plastics into

115
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:37,080
propylene and isobutylene, valuable gases that can be turned into new plastics.

116
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:42,120
While the process shows great potential, scaling it up will be essential to effectively combat

117
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,040
plastic waste.

118
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,200
The team emphasizes that reducing reliance on fossil fuel sources could significantly

119
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,040
lower greenhouse gas emissions.

120
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,640
Entertainment news.

121
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:04,080
Megalopolis has been released and was directed by the legendary Francis Ford Coppola.

122
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:11,240
Featuring a star-studded cast, including Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, and Nathalie Emanuel,

123
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:17,200
the film explores an alternate future America, where architects, artists, and politicians

124
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,120
vie for the soul of a New York-like city.

125
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:27,680
This ambitious, self-funded project with a budget of $120 million blends modern myths

126
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:29,160
with ancient themes.

127
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:35,960
While it may be chaotic and challenging, Coppola's unique vision raises profound questions about

128
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,960
the future of America.

129
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,480
Time will ultimately reveal its legacy.

130
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:47,560
Well, alrighty, folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

131
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:53,080
And today, our quote comes from the American business magnate and philanthropist, John

132
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,360
D. Rockefeller.

133
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:01,680
And he said, the ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or

134
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:09,000
coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun.

135
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,560
And that's a wrap for this morning.

136
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:17,480
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

137
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,960
with local news and the surf reports.

138
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,000
Have an amazing day, my good friends.

139
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,400
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
