Rhinos ponder many questions. One such is: Is there too much to wonder about, too little to wonder about, or is our wondering mechanism elastic, so it is always just right?

We have arrived at no conclusion. So far.

Chaos has a lot to recommend it. No Rhino has to deal with tedious duplication of event, moment to moment. Whatever just was no longer is, and vice versa.

The Rhino Lore Duo who assure this discombobulation of matters are Flotsam and Jetsam. They enrich each day with the unpredictable and haphazard. They are always on the job.

What Rhino could ask for more?

Tonight’s full moon is the Strawberry Moon. Ancient custom says it glows pink.

We Rhinos sing its praises accordlingly. We like pink.

Party Poopers may not concur, so We say rude things about them. By this system, Rhinos offload our vexation, and the PPoopers could not care less. Everyone is happy.

Rhinos are aware that We are big critters, simple and complex, insightful yet confused. We plunge forward and slide backward. We fumble.

Lurking behind many of our misgivings is a Big Question: Can Bad Taste and Creativity both make meaningful contributions to our perceptions and understanding? Are they two sides of one coin?

The answer seems to be Yes… probably.

Rhinos like baths. They’re soothing and relaxing. We can soak for hours, even if We get a little more wrinkly.

But there are some hazards attached to bathing, so you may want to be careful. The most astonishing feature of some baths is the Hot Water. Wow, Wow, WOW! Talk about excitement! Jeepers and Golly, both. And Yikes.

This peril can be dealt with by testing the water with a toe. Even though the toe may resent it, at least you don’t scald the whole package. Stay alert!

Now and again, a Rhino decides to strike out in a new direction. Why walk to wherever when you could just dig a tunnel, and walk through that? Rhino’s why and why-not buttons provide many answers, often contradicting one another.

We are an adventurous species, so We line up a shovel, and pitch into the project. Naysayers, cease your idle chatter.

Look out, Shang-hai!

There are so few Sumatran Rhinos, ditto Javan Rhinos! We have not included them in most of the blog art, so they can relax in peace. We jointly decided nobody wants Readers racing off to SE Asia for a visit (you know who you are!) Neither Javans nor Sumatrans have 100 extant representaitves. Alarming, but not open and shut.

Rhinos are used to ups and downs, and have weathered many a storm in the past.

Rhinos may not get the Last Laugh, but somebody will. We hope Whoever enjoys it!

There is something about Fictional Characters that holds our attention. A Character is known to Us, and We see traits that appeal, and those that come to No Good Ending. Interesting that We often feel We know Captain James Hook better than our cousin Martha.

The same idea applies to movies, TV, and much of History.

We may not have met Goldilocks, but We have lived with her all our lives.

We Rhinos, when young, are a stubborn and decisive gang, little impressed with wishy-washy stuff. We take no sass from Flora or Fauna. We stand firm, no matter what We are standing on.

It’s not just older folk who are ornery. Rhinos are wired that way by Nature. From the get-go.

Still, We do not fool with Mom after a certain point. Common sense triumphs over disposition.

We Rhinos have come, over time, to conceive of The Cloud. What it is, where it is, what it offers or hopes to achieve, not Rhino… yet.

The YIR Tech Quiz is: has anybody used the Cloud, and if so, did it dazzle you and improve your temper? Rhinos need to stay current, We say with a shudder, but We would be grateful for experienced and/or knee jerk opinions.

This is an informal poll, with no hidden agenda.
