Hiccups happen, as you probably are aware. Rhinos bear with them when they must, having no other option.
The question is, are hiccups contagious? Does one Rhino’s hiccup transfer itself by some convoluted system? Do hiccups have an incubation period?
At the rate this Rhino Investigation has been moving, We may never know.
Rhinos, resilient as We are, are not without Feelings. When a Feeling gets hurt, We have an uh-oh situation. Feelings are an unpredictable and volatile gang.
What’s tricky is: when a Feeling refuses to mend, it becomes a Resentment, which is Not Good.
Rhinos are not at our best when Crabby.
Rhinos are not prey to Envy. Almost ever. Still, it’s easy to understand that We are on the receiving end of a lot of Envy from round and about. It’s the price We pay for feeling good about ourselves.
What We say is: You can dress it up any way you like, but Envy is never pretty.
Rhinos are gifted at weather forecasting. Our system is not Groundhogular; they decipher Shadows, so We are told, which sounds peculiar.
The Rhino system (and a mighty dependable one it is) is Olfactory. A sniff here or there, and upcoming climatic data whelms us.
Rhinos smell not only with our noses but also with our gums. Ask anybody.
Rhinos are into Running, take our word for it. That said, there is often a question of A) are We running to get somewhere? B) Are We trying to get away from something? or C) are We just in a hurry to go, just for the going’s sake? Itchy feet?
One sure thing about Running: We get wherever sooner.
Please don’t ask what the virtue of that is.
Rhinos always pay attention to one thing or another; it’s one of our skill sets. Our minds roam freely from one level of Reality to another, often without a pause of any kind whatsoever.
The answer to the next question is: yes, We can be a few places at once, here, there, now, then.
Rhinos have plenty of practice. We are wired for it.
Hello from Iceland, where Nature goes to vent frustration. Wait around a bit, and Ba-Boom, it’s Geyser Time. Up shoots a jet of boiling water. Mighty Impressive.
There is something therapeutic about seeing a Natural Tantrum.
What are Streets for, if not for Dancing in?
Obviously, not much.
Peripheral Vision is a dandy phenomenon. You are looking at thing A, and then, over on the side there, you get a glimpse of something entirely Else! (B).
It’s not so much Imagination as it is an Association of some unpredictable sort. Maybe that is where Ideas come into our heads, through our eye sockets.
Today’s ocular peekaboo is what reminded YIR to remind our Readers that today starts Chinese New Year, the Year of the Rooster.
Lewis Carroll (b.1832) wrote Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, definite Rhino favorites.
He celebrates an expanded view of Capacity and Perception, so Rhinos naturally see him as a kindred spirit.
Mr. Carroll also pretended to be Charles Dodgson sometimes, which was enterprising. Give that man some Cake, and plenty of it, is what Rhinos say!
