Caterpillar plant cuts some jobs
Posted: Thursday, January 11, 2007 at 5:29 PM

MOSSVILLE -- Starting this week, some workers at Caterpillar's plant in Mossville are out of a job.

The company says because of a downturn in heavy engine sales, it's temporarily cutting some jobs at the plant, which manufactures on-highway truck engines.

They say it's a move they've been expecting.

The move affects contract and supplemental workers only -- the company doesn't plan to cut any full-time employees.

23. He has really put on some years since Nov.

All of the pictures taken of him since Nov. 7th show him having aged quite a bit, with a look for contempt on his face (even more so than before).All Presidents look aged and tired by the time they have left the office, but Bush has turned some corner where he is showing his age at an increased rate.

I wonder if he would just go back to clearing brush and leave the governing to the people who can actually get something accomplished for the betterment of the country?
