Today Your Inner Rhino begins our Eleventh Year! A Milestone, in itself. It has been remarkably smooth sailing, in its modest way.

We are displaying a few illustrations from our first posting in 2014, just because why not?

A pleasure, We must mention the encouragement offered by our Readers (You!). Blogging is a peculiar effort, since We cannot see you, and only know of you by your registering or commenting as the work appears. As We have said in the past, feel free to offer opinions or suggestions for topics of interest to you. We can use all the stimulation We can get.

If you missed that day of the 3,653 We’ve been cranking, you will see that We have managed to communicate with y’all 3,538 original pieces. A batting average of 999, as We are informed!

So Congratulations to Us all, and many thanks for hanging in there. Below a knock-off of a painting by Matisse showing the five extant Rhino families a-dancing:

The Rhino Family Tree, referring to the 55 million years of Us, in our varied shapes and sizes:

And this suggests how much Rhino there is in 1) Rhinos, and 2) all of Us, linked by a particular Rhinocerine burst of Energy, a happy linkage for Us all.

We hope you can join us again tomorrow, and for a bunch of tomorrows yet to come!
