Danny the Dragon Speaks
The thoughts and ramblings of Danny the Dragon.
Entry for August 29, 2006

Let me start by sharing a little bit about myself. I was conceived in 1972 by a very creative and shy individual. I only appeared in drawings etc. until 1987, when I was only 14, and met R. W. van Wyhe, the founder of van Wyhe's Custom Engraving, and was asked to be the company logo. I agreed, and for almost 20 years have silently represented the company. But now at age 34 I shall speak to the world for the first time.











After all these years, where does a dragon start? I hear people talk about money, so I'll give you my view on money...it is better to have it and not to need it, than to need it and not have it. Oh! the weather, that's something people talk about. Well here in Lake Shasta the weather is great, sunshine, blue sky, and white puffy clouds. This time of year it can get hot, but when you live at a lake you just go for a swim. Lake Shasta is the largest lake in California, so it is easy for a dragon to go for a swim and not be noticed. Just have to watch out for the boaters. Speaking of the weather, you have to check out the "Weather Rope" sold by van Wyhe's Custom Engraving, they make great gifts, and are only $19.95, plus you can order on-line. I do have to put a plug in every once in a while, after all they do feed me. Also they kind of named the website for me, www.engravingdragon.com. By the way, those things on top of my head, they're my ears, not horns as some might believe. I'm just a friendly dragon that engraves for a living. I'm in college now to learn some new things, until now I was home schooled so that I wouldn't scare the kids. But at college nobody notices me, matter of fact I'm not the strangest looking one by far. And speaking of college, good thing I have a job because it is expensive to go to college nowadays. Well for now it's back to work, hope to hear from you soon. Danny

Hi, continuing my thoughts on college. If you have a cell phone, ipod, laptop or notebook computer you should have your name or driver's license number engraved on it. It's the best deterrent against theft, and cost only $12.50. That's right, for $12.50 plus shipping van Wyhe's Custom Engraving will engrave your cell phone, ipod, or computer with either your name or driver's license number. And they do it FAST! It is engraved and on its way back to you the same day they receive it. Can't beat that. Also the holidays are just around the corner, check out the Clearance Items, Popular Items, and Misc. pages at engravingdragon.com for some great gift ideas. Hey, if you write me, I'll send you my personal wish list.

Happy New Year!
2007 marks the 20 year anniversary for van Wyhe's Custom Engraving, and I have been their logo for the entire time. I thought they would have tired of me by now. Looking back at 2006, VCE introduced a new line of products which are specific to the Yamaha Rhino. The Rhino is a blast, and is perfect for personalizing. VCE has come up with some items which are both personized and practical. You can check out the Rhino items on their website www.engravingdragon.com.
Until next time, I hope you have a happy, healthy, and prosporous new year.
Danny

You are an adorable Dragon! I think the cre4ative and shy person who created you must be very cool!
You make a charming mascot and I'm glad you decided to speak. Somebody please give the adorable Dragon a fire-proof pen! :o)

I like most music styles, but I listen to classic Rock-n-Roll the most. Speaking of pens, they ran out of them, so I did not get one, maybe for Christmas. I hear through the grape vine that they will be offering a free engraved pen with every purchase of the Weather Rope. I'll keep my eyes open.
