Sunny mornings send you. In local news, San Diego
began rolling out new high -tech trash bins Monday.
City Council President Joe LaCava noted that
the passing of Measure B which charges San Diegans
for trash collection, made the new bins possible.
La Cava emphasized that this is the first on
-the -ground step to modernize collection and
improve city services. Three -quarters of the
current trash cans are over 20 years old, and
the new bins feature advanced technology. 225
,000 San Diego households are eligible for the
new bins. Residents can track their bins' delivery
schedule at sandiego .gov slash trash. Deliveries
will coincide with regular trash collection days,
and old bins will be recycled into the new ones.
Now on to sports. The Dodgers' ace, Blake Snell,
overwhelmed the Milwaukee Brewers for eight innings.
And first baseman Freddie Freeman added another
postseason homer to his Hall of Fame resume,
as the Dodgers survived a shaky ninth inning
to capture a 2 -1 victory in Game 1 of the National
League Championship Series on Monday at American
Family Field. Snell faced the minimum while allowing
one hit and striking out a postseason career
-high 10 batters. The Brewers executed an impressive
double play in the fourth inning, showcasing
their defensive capabilities. Manager Pat Murphy
downplayed recent struggles of reliever Aaron
Ashby, emphasizing his solid regular season performance.
This series will test Milwaukee's ability to
create pressure against a dominant Dodgers rotation.
And last night on Monday Night Football, the
Bills lost to the Falcons in Atlanta, 24 to 14.

In local sports, Mike Schilt informed the Padres
organization Saturday that he is retiring as
the club's manager with two years remaining on
his contract, according to multiple sources,
including ESPN. The 57 -year -old Schilt is retiring
on his own accord, stating that the sport has
taken a toll on him mentally and physically.
Schilt has been the Padres' manager since 2024,
leading San Diego to consecutive 90 -win seasons
and back -to -back playoff appearances. President
of Facefall Operations and General Manager A
.G. Preller congratulated Schilt, thanking him
for his significant contributions to the Padres
and the San Diego community over the last four
years. The search for a new manager will begin
immediately with the goal of winning a World
Series championship in 2026. In top news, the
world's coral reefs are dying. and will continue
to unless global temperatures drop significantly.
Our report published today says that the Earth
has passed its first climate tipping point. The
University of Exeter found that warm water coral
reefs are passing their tipping point due to
rising ocean temperatures, acidification, overfishing,
and pollution. Din Lenton, founding director
at the Global Systems Institute, stated, we are
in a new climate reality. He warned that crossing
the 1 .5 degrees Celsius threshold within the
next five years could lead to more extreme weather
and food production strains. Scientists have
identified as many as 25 major tipping points,
including the transformation of the Amazon rainforest
and polar ice melting. The authors of the report
emphasize the urgent need for action to avoid
this fate. In business news, Derek Tharp, an
associate professor of finance at the University
of Southern Maine, argues that delaying social
security benefits may not make sense for everyone.
While economists recommend waiting until age
70 for maximum benefits, only 10 % of Americans
actually do so. Many retirees claim benefits
at age 62 or before their full retirement age.
Delaying can risk lost income if one dies earlier
than expected, or if market downturns occur.
Additionally, retirees may spend less from their
portfolios due to behavioral tendencies, which
can lead to underspending and reduced enjoyment.
Considering these factors, claiming social security
earlier may be a viable strategy. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is down 1%. to about $113 ,000. Ethereum
is unchanged at about $4 ,100. And XRP is unchanged
at $2 .55. Moving on to a more local vibe. In

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk science. SpaceX's satellites
are falling from the sky every single day. If
Starlink continues scaling up operations, there
could be as many as five of these satellites
raining down on us daily. Starlink satellites
in low Earth orbit are deorbiting and falling
to Earth at the rate of one to two per day. Debris
from rockets and satellites contains metal particles
that could deplete the ozone layer. Smithsonian
astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell tracks everything
that goes up and comes down. These satellites
only have a lifespan of five to seven years,
which is why McDowell sees a future of falling
Starlink spacecraft. NOAA researchers found an
unexpected density of metal particles in the
stratosphere, and we do not yet know how safe
these are. Entertainment News. Rajesh Mappaskar,
the Indian national film award -winning director
behind Ventilator, and Ferrari Ki Sawari, has
been chosen to direct Chiranjeeve Hanuman. The
Eternal, which is billed as one of India's first
theatrical films, created using generative artificial
intelligence technology. The Hindi language project
chronicles the tale of Hindu god Lord Hanuman,
and is being produced by Vikram Malhotra's Abhandantia
Entertainment and Collective Media Network's
Historyverse. Slated for worldwide release on
Hanuman Jayanti in 2026. the film aims to redefine
storytelling through technology. Mapuskar expressed
excitement about embracing innovation while honoring
India's spiritual heritage. This project poses
significant questions about the role of artificial
intelligence in filmmaking. Well, all righty,
folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And
today... Our quote comes from the American aviator
and author, Anne Morrow Lindbergh. And she said,
to fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is,
you must begin by knowing that you have already
arrived. And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and
TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with
