Rhinos don’t actually wear clothes. Why would We? We have a style, a glow, a glamor that is a simple expression of our Core R Being. Our ability to attract is not related to wardrobe considerations.
Still, there is a bit of fun pondering what would make an impression on the piazza, right?
We have active imaginations, We Rhinos.
Every Rhino is on the move, sashaying to some unforeseen spot where We will each establish our own Rhinotude.
Why not enjoy the outing, right?
Today is National Chop Sticks Day. Chop Sticks are those skinny sticks you eat with. Rhinos are not good with these utensils, mostly because they don’t pick up enough on a single swipe. We are not Dainty Diners.
Today also seems a good time for YIR to salute Ms. Euphemia Amelia Nightingale Allen, who wrote the composition for piano popularly known as Chop Sticks. That was in 1877, when she was 16 years old. It was Ms. Allen’s first and last published work.
Few Rhinos excel at the piano, mostly because the keys are too narrow. There may be other limitations, but one is all it takes..
Rhino are not only Spontaneous, Energetic, and Cheery. We are Happening.
Party Animals. We not only enjoy the Party, We ARE the Party.
Today in Bee Cave, Texas, We celebrate the predictions of Bee Cave Bob, the Armadillo. Using his own exotic system, Bob will inform the people at the West Pole how to plan their Springtime. And when.
This makes a lot of sense, since Punxsutawney Phil, a real groundhog, is dealing with Pennsylvania and its sphere of influence. (See Dec. 29, 2019.) Bee Cave Bob is working with a region 1,500 miles away, so there might logically be a difference in the reckonings.
Thank you, Bee Cave Bob, for your contribution to Meteorology.
Kansas became a state January 30, 1861, nestled in there among other states and territories on the plains.
Many famous people hail from Kansas, but probably the best known, worldwide, is fictional: namely, Dorothy Gale, the heroine of L. Frank Baum’s American classic, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Dorothy gets relocated to Oz by a cyclone.
As you might conclude, Kansas has some serious weather challenges. Ask any Kansan.
Rhinos are mostly up front with our thoughts and feelings. Why not? We can scent each other clearly, so how mysterious can We be with one another?
Still, each of Us has places We can retreat to when We need to recharge, or offload counterproductive states of mind. Or need to consider matters.
The good part is, Rhinos don’t need to go anywhere to enter this Sanctuary. It’s internal.
YIR wanted to help our Readers get a head start on celebrating the Chinese New Year. 2020 is the Year of the Rat.
Rhinos are all for helping with Festivities, except for firecrackers, which are too disturbing.
Good Fortune to one and all, with cookie or not. Tomorrow and all the other days too.
Oddly enough, many of our Readers seem to think that Rhinos are not musically inclined. True, We have no instruments or sheet music, nor orchestras nor audience.
Still, We have passion and insight and dynamism. And We can hum about as well as anybody.
More importantly, Rhinos know how to conduct ourselves, which is more than many Critters can say.
Though there seems to be no logical relationship between dreaming of Famous Folk and combatting Bugs, the one seems to effectively work as a repellent for the other.
Rhinos don’t have to understand a thing to be grateful for it.
Your Inner Rhino
