Bursts of mind-blowing Creativity is what Rhinos can all expect, once We loose our Inner Rhino!
It’s a Natural Process.
Rhinos are not specific about our own Birthdays. Dates may make attractive charts, but they don’t make sense to everybody. Rhinos are numerically illiterate.
However, We are party animals, so We each designate a few days a week for celebration. Even if We miss the exact day, We probably get within a few days, one direction or another. Also, a good time is always a good time, not to be sniffed at.
Happy Birthday to You. With icing and many kisses. And one to grow on.
Each of Us Rhinos has a bunch of Alter Egos, each one eccentric, all living in a jumble, each deciding when to step up and make itself known. How many?, you might ask. Well, it’s a bunch more than 3, so that’s the non-counting critter’s count.
Some of these Alter Egos are universal, standard issue for every Rhino. Others are spontaneous expressions of selfhood, individual and unique. We prefer to think of the percolating chaos inside Us as a sign of vitality.
Integration of character is not a Rhino strong point. Seems like a lot of effort for something that’s about to shift anyway.

First Impressions are very important to Us Rhinos, and always have been, though for Rhinos those First Impressions are achieved by nostril, not eyeball. Still, the general idea applies. How do new acquaintances respond to the Rhino in question?
No critter wants to be considered sub-standard. That is why Rhinos always galvanize the Public; We employ that extra little something.
Rhinos do not study mechanics, as a general rule. That is not to say that We are unable to address our needs when pressed. On the other hand, our needs are few, and our capacities for contentment are legendary.
On a Seasonal Front: We ask ourselves, do April showers bring May flowers? The best answer Rhinos can offer is “maybe”.

Hans Christian Andersen wrote a lot of stories for children, back in old Denmark. We are fans of his. Perhaps a bit wistful, but all in all, Great Work.
The Princess and the Pea requires a RhinoStretch, as any Rhino would have smelled the pea the minute she went into the bedroom, mattresses or no mattresses. Unless she had a cold. Peas make a good bedtime snack. Mattresses can be tasty too, depending on what’s inside.
Still, a big tall bed is much fun to think about, and mental gymnastics is a Rhino Specialty. As you Readers know.
Today is April Fool’s Day, as you Readers are probably aware. Ho-Ho-Ho Hee-Hee, We giggle, appreciating Tomfoolery as all Rhinos do.
But Also, it is Your Inner Rhino’s celebration for our 500th Posting! 500 is close to half of a million (Right?) so that is a lot of stuff. What is reassuring for Us is that so much subject matter remains to be investigated in your company.
Your support makes our mission that much more enjoyable. So, Thank You, 500 Times.
As you Readers know, Rhinos do not actually get dressed, ever. We own nothing, so it is an easy choice.
Still, We think that if a slipcover looks good on a sofa, why not try it out as a wardrobe choice? Obviously, it has a lot to recommend it, not only aesthetically, but practically.
Just a suggestion, but take a look at your shower curtains and weigh the possibilities.
Deceiving. Some Readers may think that Rhinos are descendants of the dinosaur Triceratops, probably because of the horns. This is not so. Triceratops must have been splendid, but no Rhino Records exist for them.
In our ramblings, Rhinos had seen plenty of big bones here and there, but imagine our surprise when the bones were figured out and strung together! Hello Triceratops, the most important dinosaur of all, in our humble opinion. Alas, they were extinct before Rhinos got going.
That horn similarity business is intriguing; Nature never scraps a brilliant design. Rhinos just happen to be the Big Winners this time around. Thanks, Nature.
