We posted this in March of 2017, but stumbled upon it while dusting.
It feels like a reminder We Rhinos could use.
So here We go.

Rhinos are not immune to Desires, to Temptations, to Envy. No, We stand guilty as charged, at the fence, peering over.
But ultimately, We are forced to acknowledge that We are not sure just what it is We lack. If We do.
It’s worth wondering about.
Raspberries
June 10 is National Herb & Spice Day, which We Rhinos welcome. We are always on the lookout for plant developments, and Nature provides plenty to hold our attention.
Herbs and spices come into play in many areas of interest, being ornamental, aromatic, tasty, and medicinal.
This year, the Herbalisti have decided to put a spotlight onto Brambles, which produce delicious berries. Rhinos like berries. Ask any of Us.
Tremors
Today is the birthday of Mr. Charles F. Richter (1900) who, with Mr. Beno Gutenberg, invented and developed Seismology and a scale for gauging Earthquakes during the 1930s.
A grand effort and much to be grateful for! They studied California, where there is a lot of Earthquaking. Later on, they expanded their work, sharing with scientists around the world.
We Rhinos think the Earth can use all the study it can get. With Nature, the point is about getting out of the way… in time, when possible.
Making Arrangements
Heaven knows, Rhinos are stylish. We are Imagination Rich. That said, that is as far as We Rhinos go; We embrace the Concept.
When it comes to flower arranging, Rhinos are challenged because We gravitate to flavorful flowers. We might fiddle around, but what holds our attention is snacking.
Besides, in the Wild, flowers arrange themselves.
Therapy with leaves
This is Arbor Day. Rhinos around the world are celebrating, and We recommend it for you Readers too.
Trees have everything to inspire rejoicing, every direction, and all at once.
Hug one. You’ll feel better. Honest.
Audiology 2020
We Rhinos have remarkable Hearing, almost as refined as our sense of Smell. We are always tuned in to both skills, as life in the Wild demands Vigilance.
But that set of abilities has limits; to date, We cannot hear either Yesterday or Tomorrow, no matter how scientific or elaborate our systems may be.
Probably right Now is what Rhinos should attend to. Yesterday is gone, and Tomorrow is anybody’s guess.
Coincidentally…
Today is National Healthcare Decisions Day (fact). The main idea is to get paperwork shipshape for “later”, when folks would want it. Rhinos do not have any paperwork, as our Readers doubtless know.
The idea of this holiday seemed to Us to be best expressed through making decisions Today about Today. The Healthcare in question being our own for ourselves today. Good advice, put into practice.
Seems obvious, right?
Predictable Surprises…
Rhinos do not like to fuss unnecessarily. It makes for indigestion and weight loss. All bad things for Rhinos.
That said, a little common sense comes in handy, when We remember to trot it out. Common Sense is uncommon, no more so than when We tend to ourselves. Or less so. ?
Anyway, what We can mention is, when you go to the beach, pay attention to the Tides. They come in faster than you assume.
Going Up
Most critters have some sort of vocal range. Rhinos do too. Our ability to produce sound is related to what another Rhino can hear, obviously. (Rhinos do not sing to hyenas, right?)
For our Readers, high C is about it, so We are showing that as a communication device. Rhinos can squeak higher, but only under extreme duress. The Wild can provide that sort of duress, believe Us.
By the way, high notes take practice. Lots of it.
