Rhinos are not comfortable in the kitchen. We know nothing about kitchens themselves, nor about any expectations of what could happen in one.

Gratitude is not the issue, but We feel our Readers should think kindly of Us not sharing our ignorance.

Trust Us, nobody wants a Rhinoceros as a sous-chef.

A favorite Rhino Tot Tale involves the ancient Rhino claim regarding Glowing in the Dark. Most Rhino Tots imagine it like glowing with Magic. What their mothers mean is that the young are incandescent, full of light. But Rhinos never get over the original idea. We bathe in the secret powers We inherit.

Last night’s post was an exaggeration, perhaps. But it still is a cherished memory for the Tot inside each of Us Rhinos.

Thank you all for understanding our R enthusiasm.

We Rhinos feel that it won’t give our Readers misgivings, but to quell constant rumor, We have to admit that, yes, Rhinos do glow in the dark. It’s subtle, but it’s there.

Nature has probably given Us this feature, just to keep Us from bumping into one another, or as a warning to other critters. In the Wild, nights are very dark, you may believe.

Neat, huh?!? We can glow or not, at will. The color can vary for assorted reasons.

We ran into a quote and felt it may have been written for Us Rhinos.

“You are confined only by the Walls you build Yourself.” (no source information)

There are plenty of arguments for tending to business, but that does not mean We must exclude the rest of the Big Picture. Too much solitude can make a Rhino squirrely. And Odd. Ask anybody.

Rhinos are not gifted at planning or deciding what conclusion We should aim for, No, No, it’s true. We are not mechanically clever or visionary. We leave that sort of stuff up to Nature.

Is this approach a copout? Possibly. But the Rhino Family have used this system for 50 million years and come out OK.

However, We liked this quote, so We pass it along to those of you who know what a plan is, and what to do with it.

In 1517 or so, maybe, Juan Ponce de Leon might have found the Fountain of Youth in Florida. He never mentioned it if he did, but he died in 1521, so he may not have gotten around to it.

The idea is appealing, just for the mystique of it; how it worked would be anybody’s guess.

So today’s post is about things that might be dandy, or no, but will We ever know? Y’know?

Few Rhinos see old age. One thing or another will nudge Us along to the next phase of things when the Time comes.

So We appreciate our part in today, realizing that We are cherished in the Big Picture.

Naturally.

As you may have noticed, Rhinos do not ask a lot of questions. We make up our own answers, like other folk, and proceed.

That solution works best for Rhinos. When other critters try to explain things, We find they usually forgot essential info, or our attention strayed, so We are no better off than before.

For some reason, Answers seldom carry Satisfaction with them. Sad, but true.

In the Wild Rhinos get as much sunlight as possible, on any given day. Here, today’s sunset is about 6:07PM, and Kathmandu, in Nepal is at 6:06. Big deal. But as the days pass, the proportion of sun-time v night-time changes itself.

This deep analysis of things has worn Us right out; We pant. Take it from Us, sunlight allocation is getting a boost, which is welcome, Sunbeams are our friends.

Enjoy it while you’v got it. All pretty confusing if you live on facts. Rhinos go more for the Big Picture. Getting warmer at present.

Every now and again, the moon goes in for repairs, consequently disappearing entirely. Nature could explain it, but not We Rhinos.

Bad News: no moon tonight. Good News: Moon for weeks and weeks after, all different sizes.

Get Cheery!
