Yesterday’s News 📰 - Today’s Events 📆 - Tomorrow’s Topics 🗣

Captain's Blog: As I start journaling the days again, I noticed that MetroSTL.com is basically publishing stories whole via RSS. Not sure that's what the spirit of the thing is. If I am going to link a story, I like to leave some meat on the original site, as they deserve the click for the story I thought was worth republishing. This is normally remedied by sources truncating their RSS feeds to worthless or discontinuing it altogether.
