As Your Inner Rhino has mentioned before, Rhinos’ primary perception system is Scent. For many critters, sight takes the lead, but not for Us. We get our most Dynamic Information by Nose.
Unfortunately for YIR, this fact does not translate via electronic means. So We provide a sort of image of how it seems to Us.
We are the first to acknowledge the shortcomings of the attempt, but We feel We should get credit for the Effort. Yes, We do.
The Your Inner Rhino staff is taking a break, scheduled to reassemble itself on August 13th.
Many Fond Thoughts & all Best Wishes, as Always
Semper Rhino!
Rhinos never forget, but We are not good at keeping track of what it is We thought, or did, or wished, at any given point in time. Or at all.
We have the data sealed away in our Memory Banks, but are unclear about how to access it.
There is no way for Us to judge if that’s a good thing, or a bad thing. Actually, why bother?
Rhinos, and almost all other sensible Critters acknowledge that the Earth, its workings, and the splendors of Space are beyond our Comprehension. These Glories exist with or without our approval or permission or encouragement.
The Universe is a perfect system, rolling along on its own steam, on its own terms, with purposes We cannot guess at. We can only marvel at the bits We are aware of.
Rhinos would be insane to suppose We are more than incidental to that Grander Scheme. Right?
Mr. Marc Chagall was born today in 1887.
And a good thing, too, say We at Your Inner Rhino.
‘Pinocchio‘ was created by Carlo Collodi in 1883, in a series of tales, each featuring the mischievous puppet. Pinocchio’s goal is to become a Real Boy, but he is dedicated to his own amusement, so it takes a while to achieve his dream.
Whenever Pinocchio tells a lie, which is often, his nose grows. RhinoTots are fascinated by this concept. Wild stories then abound, in the hopes that there will be nasal developments.
That Mr. Collodi has much to answer for with RhinoMoms, you may believe.

No matter how monumental any of Us Rhinos may become, however impressive and imposing, inside there remains the RhinoTot, peeking out from time to time.
Keeps Us from getting stale.
