and it's Friday, November 7th. You'll be interested
to know. 108 years ago, today in 1917. Mass demonstrations
and worker -led councils in Petrograd ignited
a popular uprising that replaced imperial rule
and launched a new era of political revolution.
It stood as a milestone in modern history by
showing how organized labor, soldiers, and citizens
could achieve sweeping social reforms and inspire
global movements for workers' rights. So now
you know. And now, it's time for the Surf Report.

Sunny mornings send you. In local news, the biggest
supermoon of the year shone above San Diego on
November 6, 2025, causing the return of king
tides through Friday. According to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a king
tide is a term often used to describe exceptionally
high tides, which also create ideal tide pooling
conditions. San Diegans reported sightings of
several creatures in local tide pools, including
octopi in La Jolla. The lowest tide on Thursday
is negative 1 .33 feet at 3 .47 in the afternoon.
and on Friday it is negative 1 .23 feet at 441

all San Diego County beaches until late Friday
night due to larger surf and minor coastal flooding.
Now on to sports. It was ugly, but it was a big
win for Denver. In perhaps the ugliest game of
the 2025 National Football League season, the
Broncos defeated the Raiders 10 -7 to kick off
Week 10 on Thursday Night Football. Denver and
Las Vegas combined for more penalties, 22, than
first downs, 20. The game's leading receiver
was veteran Tyler Lockett, who had five catches
for 44 yards. Denver improved to eight wins and
two losses. sitting atop the American Football
Conference West. They now have a 92 % chance
to make the playoffs, while the Raiders' hopes
are almost nonexistent. Former NFL star Antonio
Brown was apprehended on Thursday in Dubai by
U .S. Marshals on an attempted murder charge,
confirmed by the Miami Police Department. This
arrest concludes a months -long search for the
athlete who is now held in Essex County, New
Jersey. A video from a celebrity boxing event
appeared to show Brown involved in an altercation
with a black pistol in hand. He evaded authorities
for more than four months, frequently posting
on social media. Brown faces a second -degree
attempted murder charge that could lead to 15
years in prison. Authorities expressed relief
at bringing him to justice. In local sports,
The San Diego Padres have named Craig Stammen
as their new manager in a shocking hire. Stammen,
a former 13 -year veteran reliever, retired less
than three years ago with no coaching experience.
At 41 years old, he received a three -year contract
outpacing candidates like Bruce Bochy and Albert
Puvos. Stammen replaces Mike Schilt. who left
with two years and $4 million remaining on his
contract. General Manager A .J. Preller praised
Stammen's strong presence and leadership qualities.
This managerial change marked Stammen as the
sixth full -time manager under Preller. In top
news, Gavapentin is gaining attention as America's
new favorite anxiety medication. It has become
the fifth most prescribed medication in the United
States, used for various conditions like pinched
nerves and migraine headaches. Despite reports
of a dark side, this medication is generally
safe when prescribed by a doctor. Gabapentin
increases levels of gamma -aminobutyric acid
in the brain, promoting calmness. Most prescriptions
today are off -label, often for anxiety and insomnia.
While side effects exist, many patients, like
Rubin, find it effective for managing anxiety
and improving sleep. If struggling, consult your
doctor about gabapentin as a potential solution.

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk tech. Apple is reportedly turning
to Google to create a custom Gemini artificial
intelligence model for the next version of its
virtual assistant Siri, set for spring 2026,
according to a report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Apple will pay $1 billion per year for this new
model with 1 .2 trillion parameters. While evaluating
its options, Apple found that using competitor
Anthropic would have cost $1 .5 billion per year.
This custom Gemini model will operate on Apple's
private cloud servers, while Apple's own models
will remain on devices for personal data. Despite
falling behind in artificial intelligence, Apple
recently surpassed a $4 trillion market cap.
Entertainment news. Predator, Badlands, is an
unpretentiously entertaining installment in the
franchise, directed by Dan Trachtenberg. This
film features quirky extraterrestrial action
and odd couple chemistry between its leaves.
The makers had a fine time creating freakish
dangers on a distant planet, including mouthy
tree tentacles and a dinosaur -like monster.
As the ninth film in the franchise, it introduces
new aliens while referencing beloved details
from earlier films. With humor and ridiculous
scenarios, the movie cleverly explores themes
of cooperation and strength, making it a fun
date night film disguised as a sci -fi action
romp. Well, all righty, folks. It's time for
the quote of the day. And today... Our quote
comes from the American labor leader and civil
rights activist, Cesar Chavez. And he said, the
fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is
always about people. And that's a wrap for this
morning. You can check out our Instagram, YouTube,
and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
with local news and the surf reports. Have an
amazing day, my good friends. We'll see you tomorrow
with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
