There is a song which addresses ways to get to Scotland, either the High Road or the Low Road. Scotland is well worth the visit, but Rhinos seldom make elaborate travel schemes.
We like the Trip itself, which may or may not deliver Us to a destination. Lots to see, many critters to chat up. Sooner or later, so what?
Happy Trails, that’s the Rhino Idea.
Today is National Macaroon Day, though you may not have needed Us Rhinos to tell you that.
Mmm-Mmmmmmmmmmmm-Mm.
We Rhinos salute Wisconsin, a State since May 29, 1848. Full of Fine Folk, We have always liked visiting there, especially when it is not snowing.
It is also known as the Badger State, and that is one tough critter when riled. Obviously the trick is to leave it alone. Who would understand that better than Rhinos would?
Answer: Nobody.
‘Your Inner Rhino’ regrets to inform our Valued Readership that Montana was admitted to the Union on November 8, 1889. We blush, but please hold the following Post (Big Sky Country) to review, once November 8 comes around again.
Our research department is in the dog house.
Montana was admitted to the Union on May 29, 1848 (same as Rhode Island, though a different year.) It’s a great big plot of land, including a lot of Rockies, with many features and residents of interest.
The ‘X’ marks the Badlands, where there used to be a lot of Dinosaurs living. We know this because there are a bunch of bones to testify. Looking into this is called Paleontology, or something very close to that.
In case you noticed similarities, Rhinos are not related to Triceratops; by the time Rhinos came along, the Dinosaurs were all gone. But even We can’t help wondering, one way and another.
Rhode Island was the last State to ratify the US Constitution (1790). That said, it was the first colony to break the bond with Great Britain. Whys and Wherefores, who can understand ’em?
Rhode Island has much to recommend it, but a big feature is the lengthy shore line, given that Rhode Island is the smallest State. Also, there are many Harbor Seals and Rhode Island Red Chickens, if you are seeking them out.
Rhinos fit in well in Rhode Island, because there are so many citizens; it’s hard to notice Us, coming and going. We fit in, Naturally.
All right, Fashion Victims. It is time to crack out all those White Garments that were taboo until now.
You only have until Labor Day, so wear them, and wear them out.
Or you can let out Your Inner Rhino, and wear nothing. It works for Us.
So-Ho! One interruption of ”Your Inner Rhino’ service wasn’t sufficient? We’re off again to carry on and wiggle in public?
Yup. That’s the sort of Staff We deal with at YIR.
Be Back Soon.
The Carolinas were claimed by King Charles the 1st of England in 1629, and named in honor of him (which you would grasp better if you know Latin, where they called people named Charles, ‘Carolus’.)
More to the point, on this day in 1788, South Caroline ratified the Constitution, making it the 8th of the United States. Congratulations to them and Us as well.
The state amphibian is the Spotted Salamander. They live all over, because there is a lot of water to enjoy in South Carolina. Also, lots of shoreline.
Rhinos do not have an easy time conceptualizing our Imaginary Wardrobes. We ponder how much is enough, vs how much is too much, vs how could a little more hurt?
More is More, which is more than the former More, right?
Why hold back? Say no more.
