Here is a little nugget for you. Grand theft auto in the capital of Juneau is considered "Joy Riding" and is only a misdemeanor. The reason for this is because automobiles cannot leave the city limits unless they are transported by either aircraft...

Profile Information

Hometown:
Lebanon OREGON
About Me:
My kids are grown. I love to travel. I was in Mexico, Magdalena Bay, two weeks ago and watched a newborn gray whale calf take his first breaths (he being held up out of the water by his mom while he learned to breathe)
I was a volunteer along the Oregon Coast this past week for our annual Whale Watch Week.
I've been a teacher, a daycare/preschool director and I've been working for our local community college for more than 10 years. Did I mention that I love to travel? I've been to Alaska several times and can't wait to go again - and I get to stay longer this time because I'll be working!
Where have you lived and worked?
Nothing fancy.
I've lived in Oregon most of my life but spent some time in Nevada, Nebraska and Colorado.
Dream Job:
I love my dayjob - working at our community college with my longtime staff members - but I'm ready to do something different for a while. My dream was to have it be something with Princess and perhaps in my very favorite place - ALASKA - and my dream job starts May 5!
