My hope for this blog is not just to document my adventures as I prepare to retire from the College of DuPage but to offer you a chance to stay in touch. My children are long grown and on their own; my mother is doing quite well at the age of 90. I am looking for new moorings; a task which offers challenge and opportunity. There are comment features for you; and blogspot will alert me when someone posts a comment. I am still teaching Political Science at the College of DuPage for a couple more years. Please stay in touch!

Caterpillar

Whenever I hear the word, Caterpillar, I think of the company that makes heavy equipment and has its headquarters in Peoria, Illinois. I have seen a grader with the name by the side of the road here in Morocco. Although several other international companies also make what heavy machinery there is here. I was surprised when the name popped up here over a shop on Muhammad V Avenue, the main thoroughfare in the colonial part of town. Upon closer look, I discovered that here it's also the name of a line of sports foot wear. I included this picture (it's the best I can get at the moment) because my son, Tom, works for Caterpillar; and his company might be interested in knowing that other companies are using the name. On a personal note, I have survived all the cars speeding down avenues and alleys here so far. In Morocco, vehicles have the right of way; and they go as fast as they can. I have only two more countries to survive.
