Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Tuesday, September 30th. You'll be interested
to know. 139 years ago, today in 1882, Thomas
Edison began operation of the first commercial
hydroelectric power plant in Appleton, Wisconsin.
A pioneering achievement in renewable electricity
generation that illuminated factories and homes
and heralded a new era of clean energy. So now
you know. And now it's time for the Surf Report.
Tuesday in Encinitas. This morning it's looking
clean with waves around 3 to 5 feet. Conditions
stay clean until about 11 a .m. when they shift
to fair. By 12 p .m., expect choppier conditions
as the wind picks up to onshore at 7 miles per
hour. Waves will fade to 2 to 4 feet by 3 p .m.
Best time to ride is at 7 a .m. with the 3 -foot
incoming high tide when the south -southwest
swell is 4 feet at 11 seconds. and the onshore
wind is one mile per hour. The first high tide
on Tuesday will be four and a half feet at 4
.15 p .m., followed by a four -foot high tide
just after 7 .30. The nearshore buoy at Beacons
reads 70 degrees for the water temperature. Conditions
remain clean with four to six -foot waves on
Wednesday, ideal for catching a barrel. Thursday
sees similar sizes, but shifts to choppy conditions
by midday, making it less favorable. Friday maintains
four to six foot waves early, but choppy conditions
return in the afternoon, with the best window
in the morning before winds pick up. This morning,
it's patchy drizzle, and it feels like 69 degrees,
with five mile per hour wind. The sunset will
take place at 636. and it will rise again tomorrow
at 644. It looks like we're in for some patchy
drizzle of early today, clearing by late morning
with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 68,
accompanied by a light northwest breeze. Tonight,
expect mostly cloudy skies with a low around
63 and a gentle northwest wind. Looking ahead
in the weather, Wednesday will be mostly cloudy
with a high near 68 and a northwest breeze of
5 to 10 miles per hour. Thursday through Saturday
look mostly sunny with highs around 68 to 69
and mostly cloudy nights into the low 60s. Bonjour,

humming, and that has Wall Street on edge. Concerns
mount that a frothy market is concealing signs
of excess, as sudden bankruptcies rattle investors.
United States credit markets are running hot.
Maybe too hot. Investors are eagerly buying corporate
debt, even though the rewards are lower than
they have been in decades. The frothy mood has
some on Wall Street worried that the market is
priced for perfection and right for a fall. Two
sudden bankruptcies in the auto sector have triggered
conversations among bond investors and analysts.
So far, there is no sign of wider fallout. But
challenges like persistent inflation and rising
defaults in private credit are concerning. In
business news, Amazon has agreed to pay $2 .5
billion to settle claims that misled prime customers
into automatic enrollment and made cancellation
difficult. The Federal Trade Commission announced
the settlement during a trial over the lawsuit.
which accused Amazon of using manipulative user
interface designs. Amazon will provide up to
$51 to eligible customers and pay a $1 billion
dollar civil penalty. The company must also simplify
cancellation processes and create a website explaining
the settlement. Despite the settlement, analysts
believe Amazon Prime's benefits will continue
to attract consumers. Amazon shares fell about
1 % following the announcement. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is up 2 % to about $114 ,000. Ethereum
is up half a percent to just under $4 ,200. And
XRP is unchanged at $2 .88. Moving on to a more
local vibe. In our community spotlight on health

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now back to the show. Let's talk
tech. In a recent comparison of navigation apps,
Waze and Apple Maps were put to the test over
800 miles of driving. Both apps provide valuable
features, but Apple Maps emerged as the top choice
overall. While Waze offers a fun selection of
voices, its interface can be distracting due
to nearby users shown on the map itself. Apple
Maps, with a cleaner interface, includes options
for walking and biking, and its explicit directions
are a standout feature. Additionally, Apple Maps
allows users to download offline maps, which
is crucial for areas with poor cell service.
Ultimately, for reliability and clarity, Apple
Maps takes the win. Entertainment news. Keanu
Reeves' and Alex Winter's production of Waiting
for Godot is a stylish but shallow interpretation
of Samuel Beckett's classic. While their onstage
chemistry draws applause, the performance lacks
depth and connection. Reeves portrays Estragon
with a blend of childlike curiosity and weariness,
while Winter's Vladimir feels stiffer and less
skilled. The rush pacing hampers the dialogue's
intended rhythm, overshadowing moments of silence
that are essential to the play. Supporting characters
like Pozzo and Lucky, offer compelling mastery
of Beckett's prose, adding intrigue to the production.
However, the overall experience remains aesthetically
pleasing, yet hollow. Well, all righty, folks.
It's time for the quote of the day. And today,
our quote comes from the American philosopher
and psychologist, William James. And he said,
The greatest discovery of any generation is that
a human being can alter his life by altering
his attitudes. And that's a wrap for this morning.

day, my good friends. We'll see you tomorrow
with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
