The difference between up here and down there can be surprisingly tenuous.
This is called “The Uh-Oh Factor”.

Discombobulated
For Rhinos, things can take an unexpected turn, demanding adjustment and reconfiguration and sometimes sedation. We don’t know what to think, or feel or expect: thus, Discombobulation.
It ain’t pretty, but there it is. Our wits are on Overload.
Hooray!
This is National Popcorn Day. Fun Food for Fun Food Fans.
Rhinos are not particularly neat eaters, and We apologize to our Readers if We give offense.
Once upon a midnight dreary
Edgar Allen Poe is a famous American author and poet (b.1809). His writing is not cheery, dealing with death and the macabre emotional storm that sometimes surrounds it.
Rhinos do not celebrate death; We accept it as inevitable, arriving on its own schedule, with or without warning. Entirely Natural.
Rhinos like theatrics, but distrust drama.
Oh, Pooh!
January 18 is the birthday of AA Milne, 1882. Drawing inspiration from his young son, he created a world of stuffed toys, each with a personality and endearing quirks. This world was brought to life by EH Shepard, the illustrator of Winnie the Pooh, as well as The Wind in the Willows.
What a charming legacy, Rhino or no Rhino. Thank you, Gentlemen.
RhinoThesaurus
Today Your Inner Rhino lionizes, lauds, and panegyrizes the gift of Peter Roget (b.1779), namely his Thesaurus. His effort to synthesize the English language enriches anybody who chooses to explore the subtleties of language.
Rhinos exercise a similar delicate distinction with Scent, which is perhaps why We extol Mr. Roget’s work. His Inner Rhino shimmered. And shimmers on.
An ounce of prevention…
…is worth a pound of cure, says the adage. Rhinos in the Wild take this idea seriously. When We have a medical problem, our systems have to be shipshape, primed, and ready to repair Us.
Rhinos have no doctors nor medicine, just the combined vim of the plants We eat as our steady diet.
Happily, Nature gives Rhinos the sense to eat right, and that way, We come out OK. Often.
Slippery Customers
Ideas are elusive and tricky and unpredictable. Here one moment, then wiggled away the next.
On the happy side, they are all over the place, inside, outside, all over. But on the glum side, they have to be pinned down as soon as they appear, or a Rhino can just forget it.
Or has forgot it.
As Advertised
We at Your Inner Rhino are full of it, Sass that is, which proves that a weekend of idleness has positive results… or that We are lucky. We don’t go into these questions too carefully for fear We won’t like what We find out.
Why poke the sleeping warthog, right?
Onward.
VROOM!
Steamrollers are meant to make things flat. Rhinos are content with wrinkly land, so We don’t need them.
Need them or not, We appreciate how big and rumbly and on-the-job steamrollers are. Outstanding.
Where the steam comes in, We don’t know.
