Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Tuesday, November 25th. You'll be interested
to know. 62 years ago, today, in 1963, President
John F. Kennedy's funeral brought the nation
together in a solemn, dignified state ceremony
that honored his leadership and sacrifice. The
procession and televised memorials created a
shared public mourning that strengthened American
civic rituals and set a precedent for modern
presidential funerary honors. So now you know.
And now it's time for the surf report. Tuesday
in Encinita. This morning it's looking clean
with two plus feet waves rolling in from the
south southwest. Conditions should remain clean
until around 9 when the wind shifts on shore
at 2 miles per hour, making it fair. By midday,
expect choppy conditions as the wind picks up
to 8 miles per hour. Best time to ride is at
8 a .m. with a 4 -foot incoming mid -tide when
the south -southwest swell is 1 .5 feet at 13
seconds and the offshore wind is 3 miles per
hour. The first high tide on Tuesday will be
5 feet just before 11 a .m., followed by a half
-foot low tide at 7. The nearshore buoy at Beacons
reads 65 degrees for the water temperature. Conditions
remain clean with waves around 1 to 2 feet on
Wednesday, making it a great day for beginners.
Thursday continues the trend with similar sizes,
though a slight increase in wind leads to fair
conditions in the afternoon. By Friday, the swell
holds at one to two feet but becomes choppy later,
so early sessions are recommended for the best
ride. This morning, it's mostly sunny and it
feels like 59 degrees with no wind. The sunset
will take place at 443. and it will rise again
tomorrow at 633. It looks like we're in for a
sunny Tuesday with a high near 66 and a light
northwesterly breeze tonight. Expect mostly clear
skies with a low around 54 and calm winds. Looking
ahead in the weather, Wednesday will be mostly
sunny with a high near 69 and a light southwest
breeze of up to five miles per hour. Thanksgiving
Day and Friday stay mostly sunny with highs near
70 on Thursday, then falling to around 64 on
Friday, while weekend highs drop into the low
60s with a slight chance of rain Saturday afternoon
and greater chance Saturday night as temperatures
fall to the mid -50s. Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

searching for new ways to combat cancer may have
uncovered a promising lead in the DNA of the
bowhead whale. The findings published in the
journal Nature highlight how long -lived animals
like the bowhead manage to avoid cancer despite
having more cells. Vera Gorbanova, a biologist
at the University of Rochester, suggests these
animals have evolved additional protections from
cancer. The bowhead whale utilizes a protein
that excels at repairing broken DNA, maintaining
healthy cells and preventing mutations, rather
than eliminating malignant ones. This research
could ultimately benefit human health and provide
insights into cancer resistance in various species.

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. A scientist observed a man move energy
with his mind, leading to classified research.
In a Stanford laboratory, an unexplained event
triggered years of secret psychic studies during
the Cold War. The concept suggests that the mind
may manipulate the surrounding world. In 1972,
an artist named Ingo Swan allegedly altered a
magnetic field in a sealed vacuum chamber simply
by thinking. This incident initiated Project
Stargate, one of the most surreal programs in
United States government history. The government
aimed to train psychic spies who could see across
time and space through remote viewing techniques.

set to star in Mike Flanagan's new Exorcist movie.

captivating performances always feel grounded

critical reviews. Flanagan describes his Exorcist
movie as the scariest movie I've ever made. Well,
all righty, folks. It's time for the quote of
