Eddie Murphy & Central Alberta Farmer Create Environmentally Friendly Farm

Soaring Fuel Prices Bring New Opportunities For Farmers, And That’s No Bull

With fuel prices at all time highs, many are looking at new ways to produce energy in an environmentally friendly way. One Central Alberta farmer has tackled the problem with a different angle than most.He isn’t interested in hydrogen or hho, he’s after methane gas.

Since Greenpeace successfully fought for equal working rights for cattle, no one has stepped forward to provide the bovine community with the employment opportunities it needs. Hundreds of steers and cows remain unemployed and stand about in their pastures dejectedly while the bulls get full time jobs. Mr. Jones has capitalized on the availability of bovine labour, offering the desperate animals positions in the new methane production plant at his Condor Area farm.

The Jones Ranch is located near Withrow, Alberta in the Horseguard Valley. Robert Jones had a traditional farm operation, but has decided to take a leap into the future with his new barns. A sealed, non-smoking environment was necessary for methane capture. Robert’s long time friend, Eddie Murphy, helped with construction costs as part of his mission to save the environment. Since studies have shown that cows produce environment-ruining methane gas, Robert and Eddie came up with a plan to capture these gases and use them for fuel. Mr. Jones has modified his house furnace and one tractor to run on the new fuel, and hopes that soon his ranch will be a net zero emissions producer.

The animals have a good benefit package, which includes free food in large quantities, free lodging, state of the art waste removal services and a modest yet competitive wage. They seem happy at their jobs, which entail eating, digesting the food, and passing gas. Mr. Jones provides a comprehensive health care plan with weekly checkups and medication personally administered by Robert himself as required. In some cases a specialist will be called in from the local veterinary service. “ I have relatives working in the bean and cabbage industries,” Robert admits. “ I get a pretty good deal on meals for my new workers. Things have been running pretty smoothly. The methane gas we capture here is sold to Atco to be shipped to the states for distribution. The manure goes back to the bean and cabbage fields as fertilizer. I’m glad that I am making such a difference to the lives of so many Canadian citizens, bovine or human.”

How One Man Is Affecting Fuel Prices

So, as I mentioned before; we just celebrated Canada Day.  Seeing as it fell on a Tuesday this year it wasn’t technically a long week-end.  However, a lot of people who were higher up in the pecking order of their companies were able to take Monday off as well as Tuesday.  A lot more people were able to beg their employer’s for a four day week-end, and everybody else just called in “sick”.  So basically the whole country did get extra time off.

Now what’s interesting is that everybody complains that gas stations all increase their prices just before the long week-end.  Ask any consumer and they will tell you it’s a huge conspiracy; but any oil company executive will tell you it’s just simply the law of supply and demand.  Regardless of the fact that these evil scum-dogs are always lying, I couldn’t help but notice that the gas price did not increase (at least around the parts) last week-end.  However, as I was driving home from work yesterday (Friday) I discovered that the price had risen by 4 cents per litre.

I thought that it was quite odd that the price would go up after the long week-end; but then I suddenly realized that Friday was Independence Day down south of the border.  Thus it is a long week-end for our American neighbours.  So in other words it is a huge conspiracy, it’s just that the evil American scum-dogs are in charge of it.

But I won’t hold that against all of the fine upstanding people down there who are also suffering from the effects of the aforementioned conspiracy.  I will raise a Blue Beaver Beer and salute you as you celebrate the anniversary of the day that Will Smith saved the country from the alien invaders who tried to destroy everything.  Have a great long week-end everyone.

Build a hydrogen generator and produce your own hho fuel!

Global Warming Woes: Selling Styrofoam to Eskimos, Old Beer Fridges & What About NASA?

Aron brought up a good point the other night at the bar. Everyone is worrying about the polar bears, but no one mentions the poor Inuit who lives in an igloo. His house is at risk from global warming. The world’s greenhouse gases could increase the homeless in the north country.

He came up with a solution, though. Styrofoam igloos wouldn’t melt, they’re lightweight so you could move them around, and they could be built in two pieces just like a doublewide house trailer. We all admitted these were valid points, but Crazy eyes mentioned high winds being a danger to such a light house. We considered waking up in the middle of the night with your igloo blown clear off into the distance.

The conversation turned to how Canadians Are Threatening the Planet. Apparently, Canada is single handedly destroying the environment since every one of us has his or her own beer fridge. While Ernie admits to owning several, and I have a couple too, we keep ours outside. Since it’s winter here almost 9 months of the year, we don’t even plug them in, so I don’t really see the problem. What I do think is a real issue here is how the article states that we eat mostly donuts and poutine.

Just before we shut the lights off and kicked everyone out, Aron started in on NASA. He had some good points. I doubt them space shuttles are fuel efficient. They should put catalytic converters on those suckers. And how about some sort of hydrogen generator hho fuel engine, or maybe engines that run on used cooking oil? I thought that all they had to do was stop leaving the shuttle idling in front of the supermarket all the time. And with that, we called it a night.

On Being Transported

I recently got to thinking about all the places I’ve traveled to.  Then I got to thinking about all of the forms of transportation that I’ve used when I travel.  Over the years I’ve taken a plane to such amazing places like the North Pole and Uruguay and the Gobi Desert and North Umberland.  Not that I’ve actually been to those places, I’ve been to places like those.  I have also traveled by bus; city, tour and school.  And obviously I’ve traveled in a wide variety of different trucks and cars.  I’ve toured all over Condor on a motorcycle (that was one of the best years of my life).  When I was but a lad I also had to ride a horse to get some places.  I guess you could also count walking as a form of transportation, though not one of my favourites.  These days I travel by bicycle a lot, due to exorbitantly high fuel prices (save money on gas with an hho fuel generator!)  I’ve always wanted to try a rickshaw, never had the opportunity though.  But the kind of travel that I really, really like; is to travel ’round the block on a three wheel trike.
