An emerging huge economic opportunity is the industry of manufacturing of ‘bricks’ or ‘blocks’. But, not the stereotypical red clay bricks traditionally baked in environmentally disastrous ovens, or, the common hollow concrete blocks used in masonry. The emerging industry is the manufacturing and use of one of the oldest and most reliable building products known to mankind, ‘compressed earth blocks’ …
Mind Viruses On The Increase Back in June of 2020 I wrote an article on mind viruses. Hopefully I don’t repeat myself, as since then the number of viruses has increased. If it isn’t a new strain of Covid-19, it’s killer hornets, rumors of war, weird weather and so on. You can imagine what it does to the collective mindset …
What Could I See If No One Could See Me? Part 5 of Ron Murdock’s posts about what people would do if they were invisible.

And it would seem both governments and big business want us divided, for they’ve engineered a great many methods to effect The Great Disconnect. For instance: • Government services discourage personal interaction by asking people to call or …
Part 24 of Ron Murdock’s random thoughts. Ever notice that when waiting for a washroom to open up how time drags? Then time flies when using it… I used to have a coffee and day old muffin at a local coffee shop. A pigeon used to show up to munch any crumbs that fell on the pavement. After awhile more …
Current World Power Production Today, more than 90% of the world’s electrical power is generated from heat in one way or another. Heat engines are the devices that handle the electrical conversion process. Steam turbines are the most common examples of heat engines.

Hydrogen Gas Composes Almost 92% Of Our Sun Move over electric and gasoline vehicles, there’s a new kid in town named “Hydrogen” and it’s a smarter, kinder and better means of powering our lives. No longer a matter of speculation, hydrogen use is in full swing all around the planet. It’s an energy resource that harvests the power of the …
I wish that folks in politics understood the ‘painter principle’. You see, painters possess knowledge that common folks (and those they choose to lead them) just don’t seem to have. It’s a principle that was hard learned and well earned. Sounds Simple Enough The first part of the painter principle works like this: Start at the farthest point in a …
Illogical And Insane Sitting here pondering on things, it occurred to me that one of the greatest problems humanity has is its illogical and insane obsession to ‘play nice’. You see, there’s a whole heap of difference between ‘playing nice’ and ‘being respectful’. Both start out being right similar in intent, which is to encourage both children and adults to …

A Small Red Bird Landed Beside Her Leah saw the glint of metal behind the can, and hoping it was a coin, picked it up. It was just an old bottle cap and as she held it, she started to cry, realizing that other than the ratty clothes that she wore, it was the only thing in the whole world …
A Lucky Guy I consider myself to be a lucky guy to have grown up when I did, because things sure have changed a lot. It was a time when milk came in one gallon jars or quart bottles with tabs, soft drinks had caps, high shelves and hiding places were ‘foolproof’ devices, and the doctor’s office was the local …
I’ve noticed over the last two years that the sky has gotten quite hazy. I am use to the surrounding hills and mountains being very clear in the East Kootenays. But, now the haze has settled between where I live and the mountains. Even the sky looks to have the haze mingled in. Even overhead the sky looks to be …
