Simple enough. Another project derivative idea based upon Junco code. No HTML Template usage. The server code only receives and returns JSON via REST API calls. The client code can do the formatting in any manner that it wants. Maybe it's another server app that is acting like a client, such as a cron script. The server code can be created in different programming languages if necessary, and all of their communication is through JSON-REST API calls.

It would be good for Toledo if DMC avoids having a book like this created about him someday.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't include the 4-plus day convective outlook in my weather web app.

My Junco code (2013) powers JotHut.com. Junco uses a good bit of code from Parula (2005) that powers the current version of message board site ToledoTalk.com. Parula contains wiki features that found in Junco with slight changes.

The latest pastry fad that's sweeping the nation. Cronuts is a trademarked term used by a bakery in New York City. I guess some places call them kronuts.

Good timing. Today, I stumbled across this story from the summer.

All this fuss about the Cronut, the new Frankenpastry that is half croissant, half doughnut. It’s delectably cream-filled and flakily layered.

Saving this Collins info in case it disappears from the intertubes.

On November 5, 2013, Independent mayoral challenger D. Michael Collins defeated Independent incumbent mayor Mike Bell for mayor of Toledo, Ohio.

"Toledoans are the sons and daughters of farmers, heavy manufacturing factory workers, all made of hard working stern stuff ..."

I don't understand what that has to do with anything, but for the record, Toledoans are also the sons and daughters of nurses, designers, chefs, accountants, etc. who also work very hard.

The rest of this post could be a bit numbers heavy.

For most Toledoans, none of this politics stuff matters much anyway, and that's probably okay.
