The "Adam" Signs

Have recently posted one of these "Adam" signs. Here are two more pictures I took; and there were 3 other signs along the highway which I didn't photograph.--There were 6 signs in all! They were located along a relatively short stretch of highway and it was a lot of emphasis!

Not a Typical Environmental Movie!

A charming movie I've seen recently was "The Californians," 2005. It's about some environmental activists who oppose housing developers. One of the developers played the piano and he fell in love with a young woman who sang at events for the activists! It's not a typical kind of love story, however; and it has sort of a surprise ending.--Am not sure I want to give it away here? Just thought it was nice to mention, along with the recent "Earth Day," etc.!

Communication

This is a photo of a new footbridge in a local park.

They say communication is like a bridge; and it has to go completely from one side to the other to be effective. Myself, I'm working on communication.

Holiday Weekend

In this area [Canada], we're celebrating Victoria Day--Queen Victoria's birthday--this weekend. It's the first long weekend of the summer, although summer isn't officially here for a few weeks.

An Early Banker--II

It seems John Simpson was also a respected politician. The bank he worked for, Ontario Bank, was eventually closed because of some kind of incompetent, if not shady, dealings [not by Simpson]; and it was bought out by another bank--Bank of Montreal.

It's interesting to study about past history, in my opinion! There always seem to be helpful things to learn.

Earlier Days in Bowmanville

This is another photo of a mural by artist Todd Tremeer. It was painted in Bowmanville in 1999; and it shows some volunteers who were on their way to World War I.

An Early Banker

This is a photo of an outdoor wall mural by artist Todd Tremeer in the town of Bowmanville, 1998. The picture shows some buildings in about 1910 in downtown Bowmanville. The prominent building on the left is a bank which was apparently opened by a man named John Simpson. The building on the right was the post office, at the time.

John Simpson was the adopted son of Charles Bowman who was the founder of Bowmanville. [See "Another Street Sign" below.]
