I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.619 --> 00:00:14.060 and it's Tuesday, December 16th. You'll be interested 00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:21.579 to know. 252 years ago, today, in 1773, a group 00:00:21.579 --> 00:00:25.039 of colonists disguised as Native Americans boarded 00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.719 three British ships and deliberately dumped the 00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.140 consignment of Tea into Boston Harbor has a bold 00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:35.560 act of protest. That purposeful stand galvanized 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.439 public sentiment for liberty and helped unite 00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.560 disparate communities, marking a crucial milestone 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.280 toward representative self -government in the 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:49.659 American colonies.

Best time to ride is at 8 a .m. with a 00:01:26.129 --> 00:01:29.689 4 -foot outgoing high tide when the south -southwest 00:01:29.689 --> 00:01:34.269 swell is 0 .5 feet at 16 seconds and the offshore 00:01:34.269 --> 00:01:38.269 wind is 2 mile per hour. The first high tide 00:01:38.269 --> 00:01:43.230 on Tuesday will be 5 .5 feet at 6 .15 a .m. followed 00:01:43.230 --> 00:01:48.590 by a 0 -foot low tide at 1 .45. The nearshore 00:01:48.590 --> 00:01:52.390 buoy at Beacons reads 64 degrees for the water 00:01:52.390 --> 00:01:56.359 temperature. Conditions remain clean with waves 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.480 around two to three feet on Wednesday, ideal 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:03.319 for beginners. Thursday sees a consistent swell, 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.120 holding at two to three plus feet with clean 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.319 conditions throughout the day. Friday builds 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.520 to three plus feet, maintaining clean faces early 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.460 before shifting to fair conditions later, making 00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:20.159 it the standout day of the period. This morning, 00:02:20.219 --> 00:02:23.860 there's patchy fog. and it feels like 57 degrees, 00:02:23.939 --> 00:02:28.659 with no wind.

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors 00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:13.199 approved a lease allowing United Airlines to 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.180 operate flights from McClellan Palomar Airport 00:04:16.180 --> 00:04:20.899 in Carlsbad beginning in March 2026. The three 00:04:20.899 --> 00:04:23.620 -year lease, approved on a four -to -one vote, 00:04:24.019 --> 00:04:28.339 includes a fee waiver of $517 ,000 for the first 00:04:28.339 --> 00:04:32.480 year.

County officials expect this agreement 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.759 to generate $1 million annually and create jobs, 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.819 while also addressing community noise concerns. 00:04:52.019 --> 00:04:54.959 However, residents expressed opposition, fearing 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.759 this could lead to larger aircraft and runway 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:07.430 expansions. Now on to sports. Injuries to Patrick 00:05:07.430 --> 00:05:11.029 Mahomes, Micah Parsons, and Devonte Adams highlight 00:05:11.029 --> 00:05:15.189 the dangers of an 18 -game season. Some believe 00:05:15.189 --> 00:05:17.589 more football means more excitement and revenue, 00:05:17.810 --> 00:05:22.269 but not all players agree. Mahomes stated, you 00:05:22.269 --> 00:05:24.370 have seen the amount of injuries that have kind 00:05:24.370 --> 00:05:28.170 of piled up at the end of seasons. As of Week 00:05:28.170 --> 00:05:31.009 15, three players crucial to their teams are 00:05:31.009 --> 00:05:34.240 now on injured reserve. with three coaches delivering 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.699 the same grim diagnosis. It didn't look good. 00:05:38.740 --> 00:05:41.800 The NFL's injury report routinely lists hundreds 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.740 of players raising concerns about the toll of 00:05:44.740 --> 00:05:48.860 an extended schedule. Ultimately, players question 00:05:48.860 --> 00:05:51.240 whether they should accept more risk for their 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.160 substantial salaries. Last night, on Monday night 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:59.439 football, Aaron Rodgers passed for 224 yards 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:03.019 and two touchdowns. and beat the Dolphins 28 00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:08.339 -15 to stay atop the AFC North. Pittsburgh won 00:06:08.339 --> 00:06:11.339 its second straight game and 23rd straight at 00:06:11.339 --> 00:06:15.000 home by overwhelming Miami over the final 35 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.660 minutes. Rogers connected on 23 of 27 passes 00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:22.660 that frigid a Crisher Stadium, looking right 00:06:22.660 --> 00:06:25.079 at home with the lights on and temperatures in 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.819 the teens. Miami's playoff hopes vanished. as 00:06:28.819 --> 00:06:32.779 its four -game winning streak was snapped in 00:06:32.779 --> 00:06:37.319 local sports. Yu Darvish, one of the most accomplished 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.620 Japanese pitchers of all time, expressed uncertainty 00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:43.279 about playing in the major leagues again after 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.019 his third surgery on his right elbow. The San 00:06:47.019 --> 00:06:49.800 Diego Padres veteran starter underwent surgery 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.480 to repair a torn flexor tendon and ulnar collateral 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:58.430 ligament. sidelining him into 2027 and potentially 00:06:58.430 --> 00:07:03.370 beyond. Darvish, owed $46 million over the final 00:07:03.370 --> 00:07:06.970 three years of his contract, has considered retirement 00:07:06.970 --> 00:07:10.829 due to ongoing injuries. He hopes to contribute 00:07:10.829 --> 00:07:14.050 to the team, stating, In my mind, I was thinking 00:07:14.050 --> 00:07:17.949 that maybe this could be it for me. New manager 00:07:17.949 --> 00:07:20.750 Craig Stammen noted Darvish's potential impact 00:07:20.750 --> 00:07:23.610 on the team, especially with younger pitchers. 00:07:25.189 --> 00:07:29.610 In top news, iRobot, the maker of the Roomba 00:07:29.610 --> 00:07:32.730 vacuum, has filed for bankruptcy protection late 00:07:32.730 --> 00:07:36.949 Sunday night. After 35 years in operation, the 00:07:36.949 --> 00:07:39.910 company will be acquired by its contract manufacturer, 00:07:40.329 --> 00:07:44.850 China -based Pisa Robotics. iRobot assures consumers 00:07:44.850 --> 00:07:47.649 that there will be no anticipated disruption 00:07:47.649 --> 00:07:50.750 to its app functionality, customer programs, 00:07:50.949 --> 00:07:55.129 or ongoing product support. Despite being a pioneer 00:07:55.129 --> 00:07:58.649 in household robotics since its founding in 1990, 00:07:59.189 --> 00:08:01.970 iRobot's market share has significantly eroded 00:08:01.970 --> 00:08:05.850 due to increased competition. Chief Executive 00:08:05.850 --> 00:08:08.750 Officer Gary Cohen stated that this transaction 00:08:08.750 --> 00:08:12.350 marks a pivotal milestone in securing the company's 00:08:12.350 --> 00:08:17.610 long -term future.

The fundamental nature 00:10:13.299 --> 00:10:15.759 of living things challenges assumptions that 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.419 physicists have held for centuries. On October 00:10:19.419 --> 00:10:23.320 8th, 2024, the field of physics was plunged into 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.279 controversy when the Nobel Prize in Physics was 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:29.539 awarded for discoveries about artificial intelligence. 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.779 For most of the 20th century, physicists largely 00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:37.039 ignored living systems, seeing them as mere machines. 00:10:37.899 --> 00:10:41.039 However, many physicists now believe a mystery 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.360 unfolds in every microbe and animal, challenging 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.559 basic assumptions and potentially redefining 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:51.779 the field. Understanding life as a self -organizing, 00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:54.879 autonomous system may help astronomers detect 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.240 biosignatures on distant planets, while also 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:07.000 advancing artificial intelligence research. Bob 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:12.019 Iger is doing it again. In October 2005, Bob 00:11:12.019 --> 00:11:14.740 Iger announced a deal that stunned the entertainment 00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:19.360 industry. Standing next to Steve Jobs, Iger revealed 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.259 that Disney would sell digital downloads of select 00:11:22.259 --> 00:11:25.820 ABC and Disney Channel shows via Apple's iTunes 00:11:25.820 --> 00:11:29.600 Store. This marked the first time a major Hollywood 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.700 studio allowed consumers to bypass traditional 00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:36.659 broadcasting. Now, two decades later, Iger is 00:11:36.659 --> 00:11:39.299 making waves with a groundbreaking deal involving 00:11:39.299 --> 00:11:43.679 OpenAI. Consumers can create short -form videos 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.480 featuring Disney characters, which will stream 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.620 on Disney+. Additionally, Disney is investing 00:11:50.620 --> 00:11:56.019 $1 billion in OpenAI. Well, all righty, folks. 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.159 It's time for the quote of the day. And today, 00:12:00.419 --> 00:12:03.000 our quote comes from the American writer and 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.279 philosopher, Henry David Thoreau. And he said, 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.000 disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. 00:12:11.419 --> 00:12:15.879 The obedient must be slaves. And that's a wrap 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:19.080 for this morning. You can check out our Instagram, 00:12:19.539 --> 00:12:22.779 YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial 00:12:22.779 --> 00:12:26.039 videos with local news and the surf reports. 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.840 Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see 00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.980 you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings 00:12:32.980 --> 00:12:33.720 in Encinitas.
