Sunny mornings send you. In local news, the San
Diego Tourism Authority is encouraging San Diegans
to enjoy one of its most famous culinary creations.
the California Burrito, in celebration of National
Burrito Day. This delicious dish, which features
carne asada, fries, pico de gallo, sour cream,
and cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla, has a
muddled origin, with many attributing it to a
1960s creation by one of San Diego's taquerias.
While Santana's Mexican Grill claims to be the
home of the California Burrito, San Diego Magazine
gives partial credit to the Lolitas chain. The
STTA president and CEO, Daniel Cooper -Schnitt,
emphasizes that San Diego has the California
Burrito, the most iconic handheld in Southern
California. Now on to sports. Kirk Cousins has
signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. which makes
perfect sense for the team as a mentor for Fernando
Mendoza. The Raiders have added the veteran quarterback,
according to his agent, Mike McCartney, just
days after speculation about his future arose
during the NFL owners' meetings. Cousins was
released by the Atlanta Falcons, who are moving
forward with Michael Pennix Jr. and Tua Tagovailova.
At 37 years old, Cousins brings nearly 45 ,000
career passing yards, 298 touchdown passes, and
four Pro Bowl selections. This signing aligns
with the Raiders' new head coach, Clint Kubiak,
and their number one pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
In local sports, this afternoon, the 2 -4 Padres
are in Boston to face the 1 -5 Red Sox at 11
.10 a .m. Michael King faces Sonny Gray. In top
news, just how much are 12 metric tons of stolen
Kit Kat bars worth? A lot of promotional gold,
it turns out. Over the weekend, Nestle confirmed
that thieves had swiped 413 ,793 units of Kit
Kats somewhere along their way from a factory
in central Italy to Poland. Though both the chocolate
bars and the truck remain missing, no one was
hurt in the theft. What the Swiss company lost
in chocolate, it gained back in public relations.
Nestle stated, we've always encouraged people
to have a break with KitKat, but it seems these
have taken the message too literally. In business
news. Morning, Amazon quietly changed this popular
feature, and now strangers can access your address.
Here is what to do about it. Amazon wish lists
give you control over what gifts friends, family,
and even strangers buy for you. However, using
them just got dangerous. When you are celebrating
events such as getting married, having a baby,
or graduating from college, people often shower
you with gifts. Enter the gift registry, which
guided more taste -challenged friends toward
gifts you want. Now news reveals this popular
service changed a major privacy setting. In crypto
movement, Bitcoin is down 1 .5 % to just under
$67 ,000. Ethereum is down 1 % to $2 ,000. And
XRP is down 1 .5 % to $1 .32. Moving on to a
more local vibe. In our community spotlight on

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. A scientist may have just solved the
mystery of the Great Pyramid. Ancient Egyptians,
despite lacking modern technology, completed
the megalith in a remarkably swift manner. The
construction methods of the Great Pyramid have
sparked extensive debate, with theories suggesting
ramps were used, although no evidence of them
has been found. One scientist proposed that if
ramps existed, they would have been integrated
into the pyramid and concealed. In algorithm
testing, this idea revealed that a built -in
ramp could have significantly reduced construction
time. by facilitating easier ascent and allowing
multiple teams to position stone blocks simultaneously.
And in entertainment news, J .J. Abrams is scaling
down Bad Robot as he moves to New York. The production
company is leaving Los Angeles after nearly three
decades of producing several hit films and television
shows. including Mission Impossible movies, Lost,
and Westworld. Bad Robot is reorganizing and
shutting down its Los Angeles office, following
the sale of its longtime Santa Monica headquarters
for $31 million in November and staff reductions
in recent years. Founded in 1999, the company
has been responsible for numerous hits, starting
with Alias in 2001 and adding Fringe, Person
of Interest, and Westworld. Well, alrighty folks,
it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
our quote comes from the American author and
motivational speaker, Dale Carnegie. And he said,
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is
wanting what you get. And that's a wrap for this
morning. You can check out our Instagram, YouTube,
