The Dairy Queen Lane of the PM Highway

Nothing in the Ludington area is more of a sign of pleasantly warm weather than the spring opening of the Dairy Queen out on Old 31 (PM Highway).  When word gets out that the temperature is high enough and the DQ is back in business, the popular response is to get some cool treats immediately.  Therein lies the problem. The single cloverleaf of the DQ's drive-thru just…See More

An Open Letter Showing the Crimes Behind the Fees

Earlier today, I sent a letter to all Ludington City Councilors, appealing the fees of three different FOIA requests made before the advent of a new FOIA Policy, a policy drafted by the same city attorney who imposed outrageous fees for public information which effectively gives him the ability to create his own policy when there are public records that the city would rather not give out.  These public records belong to us, we paid for the means of making them and as an investigative…See More

Ludington City Council Meeting, April 8, 2024: Totally Eclipsed

Mere hours before the convening of the April 8, 2024 meeting of the Ludington City Council, we all had been able to view the nearly full solar eclipse in the sky over this city.  With a pair of eclipse glasses gleaned from the local library, this reporter saw over 90% of the sun covered by the moon.  The event inspired my first public comment of the evening, and those glasses would later protect me a second time after the eclipse was totally gone.…See More

    Migration Update

    The elves of the Ludington Torch were hopeful that we could move from our current Ning 2.0 network to the Ning 3.0 network shortly after our five year anniversary, but we have got news from them back that they are not currently doing any new migrations to the higher platform at this time.  We surmise that there has been problems with the migrations of other Ning sites, because some things do not transfer very well or at all, including videos and group modules. 

    As they continue to…

    Spammertizing

    Over the last couple of months our members have swelled due to an advertising push by those who join, post an ad, provide a link, and possibly send messages to other members advocating some product or action.  While these are basically harmless if you ignore them, the Torch tech wizards cannot fully protect against the intruders.  I have eradicated about two dozen of these infidels, and will make it a practice to do so in the future.

    Downloading Videos

    Want to download videos for a thread or just to add to our Videos library, but are having a hard time figuring it out?  It's not hard once you know how to do it.  First you will need the Video's "Embed" code; on a typical video site like Youtube they will have a "share" button you need to click, you will then see an "Embed" button you need to click.  You will see the code all in blue, you need to "copy" (as in copy and paste) this code by going to your copy command.

    Now go to the…
