Despite our calm Exteriors, We are not always in command of ourselves.
Naturally enough.

Ho Hum
Rhinos are only slightly acquainted with Boredom. We are so intensely involved with our many Insights and Observations that We never lack Stimulation.
On occasion, for fun, We Rhinos might do our ‘Bored Routine’, but our imitations are seldom convincing.
It is not easy to suppress that alert R Twinkle in our eye.
The Spice of Life
Rhinos always feel that a Point of View can flavor Experience, which is, after all, what it’s all about, right?
Now and then We find that our individual Repertoire of POVs needs refreshing. What has a Rut got to recommend it?
Consequently We are always in the market for a new Frame of Mind.
Strutting our stuff, subtly
We Rhinos are sometimes spoken of as having a little too much Pizzazz, a syncopated Rhythm to our stride, an air that’s Borderline.
At some level We blush; folks are almost too kind. However, please do not imagine Rhinos get up in the morning, thinking “Ah, let’s Impress the Public.”
It’s just a Natural Gift. We are grateful for it, but it is a Natural Responsibility which no Rhino can shirk. We sashay onward.
Gone but not Forgotten
Dia de los Muertos is a Mexican festival, dating back to the Aztecs. The three days are spent celebrating and honoring friends and family who are dead. It embodies a happy sense of lineage and connection.
Rhinos are completely familiar with this sort of acknowledgment for family. Ours is a rich and varied history, and We are aware of the privilege of Being Rhino.
Maybe it all relates to a Sense of Gratitude.

Bwa-Ha Ha HaHaaaaaaaaaaaa. Or something along those lines…
Taking our Temperature
There seem to be two popular ways for knowing how hot things are. They are called Centigrade and Fahrenheit. Depending on where you are or who you’re with, or who made the thermometer, you get different readings.
Rhinos are generally content with “Sizzling, isn’t it?”, “Could it get hotter, I ask you?”, and “Is there enough glare to suit you?”. None of these is memorable, but they cover our needs.
Warm’s warm, etc. Yes? Take a sniff or peer around; it’ll come to you.
High Heels
It’s Can-Can Weather, right? It’s been almost 200 years since it came along in Paris, and remains a pleasingly flamboyant dance. Not to mention Good Exercise.
A feature of performing the Can-Can are the yips and squeals punctuating the kicks, splits and leaps. Rhinos are generally keen on inarticulate noises, but then, who is not?
Naughty Ooh-La-La dances never have any trouble getting an Audience. Not among Rhinos, at any rate.
