When accessorizing your Wednesday, go bold. That’s how Rhinos handle it, and it has worked for 50 million years in a Wide Assortment of Circumstances.
That said, Rhinos are seldom sure when Wednesday is.

Jamhuri Day
Today is the day when Kenya achieved autonomy from Great Britain in 1963. Shown is a Kikuyu Bantu festival outfit, one major tribe among many in Kenya.
Kenya has always been Kenya no matter what it was called and who was “in charge”. Humans have been there only 2 million years, while Rhinos have been there about 10. Today, Rhinos both Black and White still live there in the huge conservation parks. Sharing.
Happy Republic Day to one and all.
non-Developments
Your Inner Rhino is reliably informed that yesterday had no post. Why this is or was We cannot recall, but We are on the trail.
If our investigation pays off in some way, We will let you know.
Our recommendation: Don’t hold your breath.
Ingestmentation
Many critters just eat, or so it appears to Us.
We Rhinos, on the other hand, have made an Art Form of Dining, a gustatory approach and technique of chewing, salivating, grinding and ingestion that would be the envy of any connoisseur, whatever the area of discerning application.
We honor our meals with our undivided attentions, unless We have things on our minds, which does happen. Then We have to split the difference.
Naughtiness’ Reward
The fellow in the picture is the Krampus, a Bad Behavior Expert. He spends his time locating erring Bavarian children, and then either sweeps them away, or thrashes them with his birch switch. He deals with the Naughty, while St. Nicholas treats the Virtuous.
This is Krampusnacht, his night for delivering Correction. Sensible children quake.
His mission might also recommend improvement for our Readers- any who are tempted to stray, if such there be.
Pan-acea
Music is so appealing! It soothes and stimulates, all at the same time. Pretty nifty.
Rhinos both enjoy it and make it. The Natural material of Music is all around, waiting to be appreciated.
We take note.
Gadzooks!
Popular impressions to the contrary, not every day is completely Rhino-Friendly.
We grimly try to reconfigure these experiences into Learning Opportunities, and occasionally We manage some satisfaction via realigned perceptions.
But not always.
Littering
Is there anything to be said in its defense?
Nature gives Us brains so We do not have to be thoughtless.
Happily, in the Wild, We own nothing with which to deface the environment.
Fireworks in Reykjavik!
In 1918, when Denmark granted Icelandic Independence, the natives were all happy about it. Naturally.
What perplexes Us Rhinos is how one people can own another people. It doesn’t seem sensible. For Rhinos, it just would not do; what an Idea!
At any rate, let Us all celebrate a Happy Ending, however long it took to get it.
Feisty Gals
Lucy Maud Montgomery (b.1874) was a successful Canadian author. She wrote in many forms, but Anne of Green Gables is her best known series today.
Anne is a spunky character, allowing no nonsense or disrespect, despite her romantic (and a bit prim) core. An interesting combination of traits, all in one credible package.
Very Rhino, that Anne. No baloney, thank you very much.
