Hail, Arkansas!

 

Song: The Arkansas Traveler (with partially amended lyrics.)

Oh once upon a time in Arkansas,   A Rhino sat at his little cabin door
And fiddled at a tune that he liked to hear,  A jolly old tune that he played by ear.

It was raining hard but the fiddler didn’t care.  He sawed away at the popular air.
Though his rooftop leaked like a waterfall,  That didn’t seem to bother the Rhino at all.*

A catchy old backwoods song from Arkansas, the Natural State. What nickname could recommend a state more highly?

Blue Grass Territory

Kentucky became a state on June 1, 1792. Famous for a number of things, but today ‘Your Inner Rhino’ highlights Kentucky’s Mammoth Caves, which you could rightly assume are extensive.

Caves are spatially unpredictable, and mostly Rhinos are too chunky for the sport.

There are many places Rhinos are at home, but also a few where We are not Naturally comfortable. Like caves for instance.

Big Sky Country

Montana was admitted to the Union on May 29, 1848 (same as Rhode Island, though a different year.) It’s a great big plot of land, including a lot of Rockies, with many features and residents of interest.

The ‘X’ marks the Badlands, where there used to be a lot of Dinosaurs living. We know this because there are a bunch of bones to testify. Looking into this is called Paleontology, or something very close to that.

In case you noticed similarities, Rhinos are not related to Triceratops; by the time Rhinos came along, the Dinosaurs were all gone. But even We can’t help wondering, one way and another.

 

Much Ado about Nothing

There is usually a great deal to accomplish in a Rhino’s day. Busy, busy, busy. Consequently, much gets done. But some of Us get carried away; We can’t stop fussing dawn to dusk. And overnight.

We at ‘Your Inner Rhino’ would like to point out that when We are Doing Nothing, We are still Doing. RIght?

Chilling is one of the RhinoSkills that makes Us so appealing.
