Just how Ugly do things get? Most of the Ugliness We Rhinos see about Us has nothing to do with wardrobes, that’s for sure.
We prefer to think of our imaginary outfits as Eccentric and Improbable. And let’s be real, so modestly priced!

Eyeballage
Sometimes a Rhino will experience an unexpected Change or Revelation, and Bingo! Everything’s different. Like being introduced to a whole new You. Or a revised everything else.
And then, no matter where you look, Everything is rearranged. Just like getting a new set of eyeballs, ones that perceive matters all new.
All things considered, these shifts don’t guarantee Happier Situations, sorry to say.
In Private
Ms. Emily Dickinson was born in 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts. She lived out her life there, writing over 2 thousand poems, only twenty of which were published during her lifetime. She was a recluse, by choice.
Rhinos like the ability to mind our own business, tend to our own thoughts, and express ourselves as We see fit. It is a luxury to accept our own best Guidance.
Happy Birthday, Ms. Dickinson. From Us to You.
Eyes Front!
Even for very clever Rhinos, it is not wise to focus on more than one thing at a time. Oh yes, We can have a number of things on the stove, but it’s best to recall which one will scorch or fricassee. (That’s Kitchen Talk, about which Rhinos know next-to-nothing.)
Anyway, what We do know is: We can’t be looking here AND there at the same time.
Your Inner Rhino presents you with another timely Insight. You are welcome.
Custom
Temperament is not predictable, one Rhino to another. Some of Us are more Demure than others, some are more full of Tabasco.
But often, Rhinos of a defined Disposition assemble in a locale and Social Expectations shift, at least in that region.
Must everyone conform to that norm? Generally speaking, no.
on the dots
December 2, 1859 was Georges Seurat’s birthday, known for his works in post-Impressionist pointillism.
Pretty neat. Rhinos like it now, and liked it then.
Treats!
Today is National Pie Day, as you may have suspected. Rhinos like pie.
The lurking question is: Which Nation?
Rhinos are not the group to consult on that question. Our geo-political understanding is murky.
The Open Mind
We Rhinos grant you that not every idea We encounter is equally attractive. But even if a given idea seems to stink in every way, it may offer a learning opportunity. We can compare and contrast it with what We think We believe.
The results of these exercises depend on how good We are at Comparing and Contrasting. And how honest.
No Nonsense, if you please
When a Monstrous Serpent decides to ingest one of Us, We Rhinos do not cower. We would not give the Serpent the satisfaction.
No, We show them our stiff upper lip, and perhaps hum or whistle to display our indifference to their efforts.
Then the Serpent gets depressed and slithers away. It works every time. Ask anybody.
Play MONOPOLY Day
That’s right! This is it! A day to hone your skills and lose your temper at this board game, invented in 1903 by Elizabeth Magie, later published by Parker Brothers in 1935.
Rhinos venture to play this game at a distinct disadvantage. We own nothing, so the intricacies of bartering and economics are mostly meaningless.
Still, anything with little plastic houses and colorful paper money can’t be all bad, right?
