In local news, lead paint chips continue to fall from the Tobin Bridge, which spans the
Mystic River between Boston and Chelsea.
However, the years-long repainting project is causing significant noise pollution, prompting
the state to distribute white noise machines to local residents.
Noise levels from dust collectors have been measured at over 100 decibels, comparable
to a jackhammer, leading residents to describe the sound as unbearable.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation will give away supplies, including white noise
machines, air conditioning units, air purifiers, and vacuum cleaners, from 10 in the morning
until 2 in the afternoon on Chestnut Street.
Now on to sports.

competitive throughout.
Alabama's defense held strong against Georgia's final surge, sealing the victory.
The win improves Alabama to 4-0, while Georgia drops to 3-1.
This exciting matchup showcased both teams' high-power defenses and sets the stage for
a competitive SEC season.

In local sports, the Patriots dropped to 1-3 after a tough 30-13 loss to the 49ers in Santa
Clara.
Jacobi Brissette threw for 216 yards and a touchdown, but the Pats offense struggled
with three turnovers.
Fred Warner's early pick-six put San Francisco in control, and the Pats couldn't recover.

Looking ahead, the Patriots will return home to face the Dolphins next Sunday at 1.
Meanwhile, Boston College pulled off a thrilling 21-20 win over Western Kentucky, with backup
quarterback Grayson James leading a fourth-quarter comeback.

In top news, a homeowner in Corbeil-Essence, France, had a shocking experience while renovating
his basement when he stumbled upon a skeleton.
This unexpected discovery led archaeologists to excavate the four-room cellar, ultimately
revealing a total of 38 skeletons and 10 plaster sarcophagi.
The site is believed to date back over 1,500 years, indicating it was once a cemetery.
Interestingly, this neighborhood is known for its macabre discoveries, making this find
all the more intriguing.
Talk about an unexpected turn in a home improvement project.
In business news, Warby Parker co-founder Dave Gilbo attributes his company's success,
valued at $1,800,000,000 to a simple principle, being nice guys.
The inspiration struck during a backpacking trip in northern Thailand, where he lost his
glasses.
Upon returning to Wharton Business School in 2008, Gilbo discovered replacing them would
cost $700, far more than the $200 iPhone.
This prompted him and his fellow classmates, Neil Blumenthal, Jeff Rader, and Andy Hunt,
to create a company that sells glasses directly to consumers, removing frustrating retail
markups and making eyewear more accessible.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $65,800.
Ethereum is just over $2,600.
And Solana is $160.

And now, back to the show.
Let's talk tech.
The era of touch screens may be winding down as companies rediscover the appeal of physical
controls.
After nearly two decades of pushing touchable displays, product designers are reintroducing
buttons, knobs, hand sliders, in vehicles, appliances, and personal electronics.
In the automotive industry, manufacturers like Kaya, BMW, and Volkswagen are moving
away from Tesla's touch screen-centric designs, favoring tactile controls instead.
This trend is not limited to cars.
It extends to e-readers and induction stoves.
Notably, Apple has embraced this movement, adding an action button to its new iPhone
16 models, signaling a shift back to user-friendly designs.
And in entertainment news, in the upcoming film both, George Clooney and Brad Pitt team
up as two fixers, navigating a chaotic situation in a luxury hotel suite.
Directed by John Watts, this comedy features Clooney as a mysterious fixer who swiftly
tackles unsolvable problems.
While Pitt's character remains unnamed, adding to the intrigue.
The film relies on a somewhat flimsy premise, pushing these two cool characters into a buddy
comedy dynamic.
Wolf's premiered in theaters last week before launching on Apple TV+, promising an entertaining,
if unconventional, double act from these Hollywood icons.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the Chinese philosopher, Confucius.
And Confucius said,
It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.
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 weather reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends, we'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny
Mornings in Boston.
