Well, that is not quite correct. There is an initial &#8220;D&#8221; in the center I can use sometimes and a long time ago I hung a Roman Numeral III at the end. On the web I sign off with Dan&#8217;l. That was given to me back in high school days by just one friend named Johnny. I just sort of picked it up again in web publishing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I passed my 6<sup>th<\/sup> decade of existence. That means I sort of know the ropes and am still young enough to remember how to untie the knots. Age is only a state of mind but I am not sure which state I was in when I last used it!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I live in Frisco, Texas just north of Dallas. Everyone knows where Dallas is located. If you really want to know the location, just look it up on <span class=\"SpellE\"><a title=\"MapQuest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mapquest.com\/maps?city=Frisco&amp;state=TX&amp;zipcode=75035\" target=\"_blank\">MapQuest<\/a><\/span>. That is what I do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I have read that there are 80,000 <span class=\"SpellE\">Blogs<\/span> a day getting started. That means everyone is writing or learning how they operate. There is no one left to read them. What I or you say here in THMS or in <a href=\"http:\/\/ramblindan.org\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Rambin&#8217; Dan<\/strong><\/a> will probably remain lost forever. That&#8217;s OK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I&#8217;ll take this open road of written communication where ever it wants to go. There are no rules at this point. I figure it will tie heavily into my hobby activities. Of those I have way too many. I can&#8217;t do a web site on each, but a <span class=\"SpellE\">Blog<\/span> may be a very nice place to just chat about them all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">My work is interesting too. I am a construction services manager and\u00a0energy engineer for an international energy savings management company called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/sites\/corporate\/en\/home.page\" target=\"_blank\">Schneider Electric<\/a>. Look that up too&#8230; if you want. Every construction project with which I am involved is intended to save wasted energy.<span class=\"GramE\"> A single project<\/span> can sell for under a half million dollars to over fifty million dollars. Paybacks are seven to <span class=\"GramE\">ten years<\/span>. <span class=\"GramE\">A great and interesting business in which to be involved. Good for the world.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">That&#8217;s what this is&#8230; about!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Dan&#8217;l<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My full name is Daniel Kautz.
