The Festivious Rhino…

‘Your Inner Rhino’ has done a great deal of research on our Readers’ ideas of jolly holidays. So We Rhinos are making one up on our own. We call it “Take Your Canary to Work Day”.

This idea is most useful for Readers with canaries. But you could probably substitute a hamster or catfish.

Every special day must have had a beginning somewhere, and why not today?

Noteworthy

Shown here is a tiny part of Sr. Gioachino Rossini’s “William Tell Overture”. It is an extensive piece of music, made of a great many notes, played by a great many musicians.

Sometimes Smelling seems to be reduced to a snort, a snappy reduction of Experience. But Real Delectation of Scent is a romance between the Nostril and thousands of component wafts, each open to interpretation, each worthy of singular appreciation, each expressing its own source. Each contributing Whiff is comparable to a note in a grand piece of music.

Art is in the air.

Due Processing

Rhinos are embarrassingly Sensitive and Receptive; name a Sensory System, and We are adept. Hearing and Smell usually take the focus, but they do not bear the entire burden.

Where things get tricky is with the Editing Process. What to do with so much stimulation? Rhinos cannot really explain how We snort away the unwanted, or ignore the extraneous, etc. We make Adjustments, as you can imagine.

On busy days, We can get tuckered out.

MarRrRrrrrrRrch

In the spirit of the season, ‘Your Inner Rhino’ salutes the unpredictable March Weather We Rhinos often encounter, this time of year.

Please do not be alarmed, as this image is not a Lion, but one of Us imitating a Lion.

“Grrrrrrr”, is our line (or lion, heh, heh.)

The Grimm Brothers

Today is Wilhelm Grimm’s birthday, back in 1786. He and his brother Jacob published their first collection of fairy tales in 1812. These tales have been popular ever since.

‘Rumpelstiltskin’ is a peculiar story about a conniving little man who can transform straw into gold. The trick is that his name is so odd that it can never be guessed.

Rhinos are enthralled with the revelations in these stories, though We have no idea what they are about. Funny, how that works.
