Today's riddle: What did the fish say when she hit a wall? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. California Named the Stores. Forty-One San Diego County Locations Received Happy Hens Eggs, and the Recalled Date Codes Were Packed in August — After Almost Every Illness in This Outbreak. (lexblog.com) — Carlsbad shoppers are being warned that Happy Hens brand eggs linked to a Salmonella outbreak were sold locally at Carlsbad Ranch Market, Jimbo's Carlsbad, and multiple Lofty locations. State officials say 23 Californians have been sickened and a recall is underway, but many cartons are still within their sell-by dates, so residents should check labels, discard suspect eggs, and contact health providers if ill.
2. Carlsbad declares emergency over crumbling coastal bluffs along boulevard (10news.com) — Carlsbad officials have declared a local emergency over unstable coastal bluffs and cracked pavement along Carlsbad Boulevard, and are rushing to extend a protective boulder wall to safeguard the roadway. Working with the California Coastal Commission, the city hopes to start placing boulders this week, with the City Council set to vote on confirming the emergency declaration on Tuesday.
3. Secret codes, KGB interrogations and sheet music: This professor's new book is a true Cold War thriller (yoursun.com) — A Carlsbad-based music professor is sharing her extraordinary Cold War past in a new book, recounting how she and fellow musicians secretly aided Soviet refuseniks using coded sheet music. Her story connects local readers to a dramatic chapter of history, highlighting how music, courage, and quiet activism helped expose human rights abuses and support Jewish families seeking freedom.
4. San Diego officials tout water investments while other Southwest communities brace for Colorado River cuts (timesofsandiego.com) — San Diego's long-term water investments mean residents, including those in Carlsbad, are expected to avoid the harsh Colorado River cuts now hitting other Southwest communities. With the Carlsbad desalination plant, expanded storage, and recycling projects, local agencies say the region has a diversified, resilient supply, though those protections come with higher water costs and ongoing debates over spending priorities.
