The package left yesterday.  Every signature in place.  Every "i" dotted, and every "t" crossed. Southeast Alaska Real Estate will soon be "Prudential Southeast Alaska" There was a lot of soul searching in choosing a franchise.  At the last moment, I even wondered if I should.  So, if you are thi...

Part One:  http://activerain.com/blogsview/645303/On-my-own-and Part Two: http://activerain.com/blogsview/645405/On-my-own-and So, five days to clean out my desk.  My poor husband is probably having a nervous breakdown running his fishing charter right after getting off the plane.  I run a few er...

So, I last left you with a very brief description of the last time I switched brokerages... Larry asks me if I have time at 2:15 to chat.  I don't then, but I did "now".  So we did it right then.  I knew what was coming - I think I'd expected it even sooner.  I just want to get it over with.  He ...

It's been no secret to those that really know me that I've been planning to open my own office for a long time.  I've had my Associate Broker license since 2002.  I have set ideas about how to run a brokerage, and I really want to give other agents the opportunity to learn and appreciate what a c...

Yesterday I told you about part one of my birthday adventures.  I'd lost a nice fish, learned a bit about running the boat, and then we were approached by the United States Coast Guard Patrol boat. My husband is accustomed to this procedure, but I'll admit I was a little intimidated.  They asked ...

My husband kept asking me what I wanted for my birthday.  All I really wanted was to go fishing. We went in the "little boat", an 18 foot Almar that was just equipped with 4-cycle motors.  For those of you that don't know much about small engines, the old 2-cycle motors rattle, make a lot of smok...

If you live in Juneau, you know about our energy crisis unless you live under a rock.  On April 16, at about 4:00 AM there was a series of avalanches that took out over 1.5 miles of power line and several towers, cutting Juneau off from the hydroelectric plant that powers the community. As a resu...

When I go to Haines next weekend, I've got to meet Roger Maynard.  For a fresh new look at issues in Alaska, I invite you to visit his website:  http://www.rogermaynard.net .  It is with Roger's explicit permission I bring you the following.  I'm sure you've all read about the supposed boondoggle...

Everyone in Juneau is trying to find ways to reduce their energy costs.  A catastrophic avalanche took out over a mile and a half of power line from our hydroelectric plant and cut off Alaska's capital city.  Everything is operating on huge generators.  It's estimated to take 100,000 gallons of d...
