Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Tuesday, October 21st. You'll be interested
to know. 146 years ago, today in 1879. Thomas
Edison successfully tested a practical incandescent
light bulb that glowed steadily using a carbon
filament and improved vacuum conditions. This
achievement marked a major milestone in electric
illumination, inspiring broad development of
electric lighting systems and practical applications
that transformed homes and industry. So now you
know. And now, it's time for the weather report.
This morning it's mostly sunny and it feels like
46 degrees with 12 mile per hour wind. The sunset
will take place at 550 and it will rise again
tomorrow at 705. It looks like grin for a sunny
Tuesday with a high near 65 and a breezy southwest
wind at 8 to 12 mile per hour, gusting up to
24 mile per hour. Tonight. Expect cloudy skies
with likely rain showers after midnight, a low
around 53, and a light south wind. For all you
beach runners out there, the first high tide
Tuesday will be at 11 .45, with the low tide
at 6. The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reads
58 degrees for the water temperature. Looking
ahead in the weather. Wednesday starts with rain,
before 8 a .m., then becomes showery with thunderstorms
possible, and a high near 66, with a south wind
near 10 miles per hour and rainfall amounts around
a quarter to a half inch. Wednesday night into
Thursday brings only a chance of showers with
lows near 45 and highs, falling to near 60 on
Thursday as southwest winds continue near 10
miles per hour. Bonjour, food enthusiasts! This
podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe
and Pastries in Encinitas. Nestled on El Camino
Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard,

coffee. They are open every day from 8 to 5.
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.
Sunny mornings send you. In local news, this
has Saturday on Boston Common, thousands gathered
for the No Kings protest, a massive peaceful
demonstration. Drone and helicopter footage captured
the crowds, while local stations covered the
event live with thousands of photos taken and
shared. However, within hours, social media erupted
with false claims that MSNBC had aired recycled
footage from 2017. This misinformation spread
rapidly, fueled by an AI tool called Croc, which
mistakenly misidentified the protest. Although
PBC Verify later confirmed the footage's authenticity,
the swift spread of disinformation highlights
our tendency to believe technology over reality.
So, before sharing, consider were you there,
or are you just trusting a machine? Now onto
sports. The Toronto Blue Jays are heading to
their first World Series since 1993, powered
by George Springer's go -ahead three -run homer
in Monday's 4 -3 victory over the Seattle Mariners
in Game 7 of the American League Championship
Series. World Series Game 1 will take place on
Friday at 8 p .m. Eastern Time. Springer's 7
-dinning blast set off a frenzied celebration
at Rogers Center. Toronto now advances to face
the Los Angeles Dodgers after overcoming a challenging
series. And in football, the Lions remain competitive
in the National Football League's toughest division,
following a decisive victory over the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield struggled against
Detroit, completing just 228 yards with an interception
in a 24 -9 loss. With this win, the Lions improved
their record to five wins and two losses, sitting
in second place in the National Football Conference
North Division, trailing the Green Bay Packers
by mere percentage points. The Division has seen
a remarkable 16 victories so far, with no team
below a 500 record. Detroit's continuity and
offensive strength make them a formidable contender
this season. In local sports, the Celtic star
Jalen Brown provided an update on his hamstring
injury. Brown said he wasn't too concerned when
the injury occurred. He practiced fully on Monday
and stated he feels great after tweaking his
hamstring during the preseason finale against
the Raptors. When asked about playing in the
regular season opener against the 76ers this
coming Wednesday, Brown said, we'll see. His
departure from the Toronto game seemed to be
a precautionary measure. Brown appeared to be
moving well after practice and mentioned he is
taking it one day at a time. In top news, gone
in seven minutes is how the Lou Heist unfolded.
France's crown jewels are missing, stolen from
the world's largest museum in a plot straight
out of a film script. It took less than seven
minutes to pull off one of the world's most spectacular
heists. A gang of brazen burglars targeted the
Louvre in broad daylight and fled with priceless
jewels. The theft occurred shortly after the
museum opened on the first weekend of the All
Saints Day holiday. Alarms were triggered. but
the thieves managed to steal eight items of priceless
heritage value. Investigation efforts are underway,
with about 60 investigators involved. The Minister
of Culture stated that organized crime appears
to be involved. In business news, Wall Street
is starting to get a little defensive as utilities,
health care stocks, and consumer staples lead
the S &P 500 this month. These sectors tend to
perform well regardless of economic conditions,
with electricity, drugs, and groceries always
in demand. However, investors are pulling back
from more sensitive sectors, like regional banks
and airlines, raising concerns about potential
weaknesses. The recent market turbulence, fueled
by trade war rhetoric, has investors worried,
while major stock indexes remain close to record
highs. Analysts expect strong corporate earnings
growth, but caution that a sluggish labor market
may impact consumer spending. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is down 3 % to $108 ,000. Ethereum is
down 4 % to just under $3 ,900. And HexRP is
down 1 % to $2 .43. Moving on to a more local
vibe. In our community spotlight on health and

entertainment news, many of this year's busiest
films are struggling to profit at the box office.
For instance, The Smashing Machine experienced
a 70 % decline in its second weekend, generating
$18 .8 million. Similarly, Roof Men debuted with
only $8 million. Box office analyst Sean Robbins
notes that these prestige -type films have not
created enough excitement. Warner Bros. spent
over $130 million on one battle after another,
which is projected to lose $100 million. Despite
the challenges, Analyst Hope Studios will continue
producing varied films to boost attendance. Well,
alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the
day. And today, our quote comes from the American
author and philosopher, Will Durant. And he said,
