WEBVTT 00:00:01.640 --> 00:00:04.360 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:08.800 Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:13.660 and it's Tuesday, August 19th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:18.820 to know. 65 years ago today, in 1960, the Soviet 00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:21.920 Union launched Sputnik V, the first spacecraft 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.620 to carry animals into orbit and return them safely 00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:29.160 to Earth. This historic mission included two 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:33.369 courageous dogs, Belka and Strelka, along with 00:00:33.369 --> 00:00:37.990 a gray rabbit, 40 mice, two rats, and 15 flasks 00:00:37.990 --> 00:00:41.869 of fruit flies. Their successful journey paved 00:00:41.869 --> 00:00:44.229 the way for human spaceflight, demonstrating 00:00:44.229 --> 00:00:47.250 that living organisms could survive and thrive 00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:51.609 in the harsh environment of space. So now you 00:00:51.609 --> 00:00:55.829 know. And now, it's time for the SURF Report. 00:00:58.689 --> 00:01:03.149 Tuesday in Encinitas. and North County. This 00:01:03.149 --> 00:01:05.209 morning it's looking clean with waves around 00:01:05.209 --> 00:01:09.390 3 plus feet. Conditions hold steady through the 00:01:09.390 --> 00:01:12.530 morning, but by midday expect it to get choppy 00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:16.209 as the wind picks up to onshore at 9 miles per 00:01:16.209 --> 00:01:20.069 hour. The swell is consistent, so you can count 00:01:20.069 --> 00:01:23.849 on those 3 plus feet throughout the day. Best 00:01:23.849 --> 00:01:28.209 time to ride is at 7 a .m. with a 3 -foot incoming 00:01:28.209 --> 00:01:32.480 high tide. when the southwest swell is 1 .5 feet 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:36.459 at 16 seconds and the onshore wind is 1 mile 00:01:36.459 --> 00:01:40.000 per hour. The first high tide on Tuesday will 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.859 be 4 feet just after 8 .30 a .m., followed by 00:01:43.859 --> 00:01:49.040 a 2 .5 foot low tide just before 1. The nearshore 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.959 buoy at Beacons reads 72 degrees for the water 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:57.060 temperature. Clean conditions dominate the first 00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:00.680 two days, with waves around 3 plus feet, ideal 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.159 for catching some good rides. As the weekend 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.859 approaches, expect a slight decrease in size 00:02:06.859 --> 00:02:10.280 to 2 to 3 feet on Friday, with fair conditions. 00:02:11.139 --> 00:02:13.840 The standout day will be Thursday, maintaining 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.979 consistent 3 plus foot sets throughout, before 00:02:16.979 --> 00:02:22.000 fading into Friday's smaller surf. This morning, 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.379 it's cloudy and it feels like 70 degrees, with 00:02:25.379 --> 00:02:29.840 no wind.

Calls for Los Angeles to withdraw from 00:05:02.699 --> 00:05:06.459 hosting the 2028 Olympics are growing amid wildfires 00:05:06.459 --> 00:05:11.230 and immigration raids. However, LA 28 leaders 00:05:11.230 --> 00:05:13.629 maintain that the federal government has assured 00:05:13.629 --> 00:05:17.529 safe travel for foreign athletes. Historically, 00:05:17.610 --> 00:05:20.290 the Olympics have faced challenges, yet cities 00:05:20.290 --> 00:05:22.870 have rarely canceled or relocated the games. 00:05:23.930 --> 00:05:27.129 Legally, Los Angeles cannot back out due to a 00:05:27.129 --> 00:05:30.970 binding host city contract signed in 2017, which 00:05:30.970 --> 00:05:33.189 lacks termination options for the host city. 00:05:34.189 --> 00:05:36.750 With only three years until the games, preparations 00:05:36.750 --> 00:05:39.970 continue, despite obstacles such as construction 00:05:39.970 --> 00:05:43.230 delays and political tensions, making withdrawal 00:05:43.230 --> 00:05:49.250 nearly impossible.

In top news, analysts and investors 00:06:48.750 --> 00:06:52.189 are closely monitoring a significant drop in 00:06:52.189 --> 00:06:55.569 cardboard box sales, an unusual but telling indicator 00:06:55.569 --> 00:06:59.180 of the United States economy. The demand for 00:06:59.180 --> 00:07:01.759 corrugated cardboard, essential for transporting 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.959 various goods, has hit its lowest second -quarter 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:10.420 level since 2015. Major companies, like International 00:07:10.420 --> 00:07:14.300 Paper Company, report a 5 % decline in shipments, 00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:18.600 while Swarf at Westrock notes a 4 .5 % drop in 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:22.379 North America. With consumer spending comprising 00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:25.939 nearly 70 % of the economy, This slump raises 00:07:25.939 --> 00:07:30.240 concerns about future retail demand. As the economy 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.300 braces for possible corrections, industry experts 00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:37.879 are hoping for recovery later this year.

Tokenization allows retail investors 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.800 access to private companies' shares. traditionally 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.199 available only to institutional investors. However, 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.899 these tokens are not the same as actual equity. 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.879 A Robinhood spokesperson explained that stock 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.319 tokens provide economic exposure tied to the 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.480 underlying asset's price, but they do not guarantee 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:16.019 ownership. Investors may face risks as tokenized 00:08:16.019 --> 00:08:19.579 shares lack transparency and access to important 00:08:19.579 --> 00:08:22.519 company information. leading to a speculative 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.120 investment environment.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:40.730 --> 00:09:43.990 science. Researchers at Northwestern University 00:09:43.990 --> 00:09:47.570 have revealed fascinating insights into super 00:09:47.570 --> 00:09:51.350 -agers, individuals over 80 who maintain cognitive 00:09:51.350 --> 00:09:55.470 function comparable to much younger people. Over 00:09:55.470 --> 00:09:59.090 25 years, they studied more than 100 super -agers 00:09:59.090 --> 00:10:05.269 and examined 77 postmortem brains. A key personality 00:10:05.269 --> 00:10:09.090 trait of super -agers is their sociability, as 00:10:09.090 --> 00:10:12.220 they tend to live life on their own terms. often 00:10:12.220 --> 00:10:15.419 engaging with their communities. Interestingly, 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.139 super -agers show slower brain shrinkage and 00:10:19.139 --> 00:10:22.379 a more robust cholinergic system, which may protect 00:10:22.379 --> 00:10:26.340 against neurodegenerative diseases. While lifestyle 00:10:26.340 --> 00:10:29.259 choices may play a role, researchers emphasize 00:10:29.259 --> 00:10:32.200 that more questions remain than answers as they 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:40.529 continue this groundbreaking work. The official 00:10:40.529 --> 00:10:43.750 trailer for Good Boy, directed by Ben Leonberg, 00:10:43.990 --> 00:10:47.090 showcases a haunted house from a dog's perspective. 00:10:47.909 --> 00:10:51.769 This feature debut hits theaters on October 3rd, 00:10:51.769 --> 00:10:55.889 following its premiere at the 2025 South by Southwest 00:10:55.889 --> 00:11:00.450 Film Festival.
