a Big Payoff

While working on the Hawaii post (#2780), the Research Team discovered the work of an artist called Tommervik. Just Tommervik. Efforts to get bio data were futile. T did spend time in Hawaii, that We know.

So We here, and you Readers there, can simply bask in the concentrated power of T’s paintings. Responses to art are personal, so you judge it for yourselves. We found the energy and commanding simplicity amazing. Is T alive or dead? His work lives on, either way.

Tommervik is represented on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google and Ebay. T has been mega-productive. Look up the paintings and Enjoy, as one of my heroes says.

Exotic Islands

On request, ‘Your Inner Rhino’ is featuring Hawaii today, known for its colorful and spirited flora, fauna, folk, and culture.

Rhinos have never resided longterm in Hawaii. We have only gone there in a Tourist Capacity. We have still had a good time and the natives are kindly and welcoming.

If Hawaii has one big drawback, it is how hard it is to spell.

In High Regard

We younger Rhinos usually have pretty vibrant egos, but We have to face it: We could each use some improvement or a goal to embrace. If We can be better, We need to get going.

For Us, the best way to move forward is to imitate adults We admire. We tag along, to get the hang of being tough and terrific.

Fortunately, Adult Rhinos happily share their systems with likely candidates. Young Rhinos are lucky.

Oblivious-ity

Rhinos are often ‘Out to Lunch’, happily. That is a welcome reconstructive part of having a Mind; We can pitch the junk and appreciate the good bits. All while chewing.

A crucial policy for Critters as aware as We are is to leave some mental space for More. Just when We think We know it All, something else barges in and demands our attention.

It’s Pay Attention Time. Ready or not, here it comes!

Who’s looking?

Shown is Rascal, an Invisble Playmate of most, if not all, young Rhinos. When We are young, our Mothers dish out much Advice and Correction, so it should not amaze the Reader to learn Tots create alternative Allies.

We cannot spell this one’s name, and it is known as Rascal. Always a sense of fun and the ridiculous, of which the WIld has plenty. Rascal shows up at the right moment, all the time. Uncanny!

Best Part: Mother Rhinos can’t see Rascal. They can tell when Rascal has shown up, but cannot locate him/her/it. Ideal!!

Day Off

This is “No Housework Day”. Honest. We don’t make this stuff up. No broom, no mop, no laundry, no raking. And a few other ‘nos’ as well.

This is not a Rhino Holiday. Living in the Wild, having nothing but Wild Imagination, We Rhinos see no need for fiddling with Things. That’s where Nature put ’em, and that’s where Nature wants ’em, at the moment.

We can go out and impress folks. We like to do that.

Gimme a Break

The Staff of ‘Your Inner Rhino’ was astounded to find that today is National Tartan Day. Some members felt We had done enough about Tartans, if not forever, at least for the next eon or two.

Scotland is a fine nation, and many fine Scottish folk have gone to exotic places, like New Jersey, still recalling the hominess of Home. Fine.

The YIR consensus this morning is to hold off on any more Scots festivals until other countries have their chance. Our consensus record is modest, so don’t despair. If you know of a country that is pining for YIR recognition, please say so in the comments.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Naps are a crucial part of any Rhino’s day. We get so super-charged that only a good snooze can put Us back in business. Restored Equilibrium.

ALSO, and perhaps more interestingly, these periods ‘away’ allow Us to put our opinions on hold and leave everybody else alone.

Everybody wins.

R-Alphabet

As far as We know, the alphabet is a bunch of letters that make up words that make up sentences that somehow transmit messages. When put that way you can see that for Rhinos the whole business is unlikely. Our minds don’t run on those tracks.

So We like to put Rhinoceros first, and then put the other letters next to them. Voila, Alphabet a la Rhino.

We recommend our system, but that’s because it suits Us. Try it. Or don’t.
