Saturday, September 22 is WORLD RHINO DAY, so hang them banners and toot them horns!
Please.
Back Back Soon
The YIR staff is off gadding about, but will return to the office the 25th.
Wish us luck!
Hoist Anchorrr, ye Scurvy Crustaceans!
That’s right, Readers! It’s Talk-Like-a-Pirate-Day once again! Gather your doubloons, bottles of rum, etc. and get with it.
It’s a ‘Your Inner Rhino’ sort of holiday.
Shiverr Yrrr Timberrrzz!
Earth Movers
Mr. Melville R. Bissell (b. 1843) invented the Carpet Sweeper in 1876, a popular labor-saving device. No more beating the rugs on the back fence; you just swept the rugs on the floor. Neat!
In the Wild, this invention is not common. Rhinos don’t own anything, and there is much more dirt than there is carpet…
It’s use also assumes We Rhinos don’t like the dirt where it is, which isn’t the case.
An Ounce of Prevention
Rhinos are a Curious Crowd, and sometimes feel driven to satisfy our Curiosity. It’s an Urge that wants Scratching.
But a Word to the Wise: Don’t go visit the Beast in its Lair.
Never say you Readers were not Warned.
The Up and Coming
Transformations are really the norm of Nature. We have the Before-the-Sneeze, and then, shortly after, the Post-Sneeze. We have the Onset of Adolescence, and then later, the Fade-out of Adolescence. And so on, each experience tinting our thinking, sometimes Dramatically. Sometimes not.
Take it or leave it, each Rhino is a Work in Progress. Inside and Out. Seldom on a schedule We control.
YESTERDAY
We want to remind our Readers that for every day of Human History, Rhinos have been here as a family. Plus, in one form or another, another 50 million years or so.
Happy Times and Less Happy Times.
