Today, back in 44 BC, Julius Caesar had a Very Bad Day, which ‘Your Inner Rhino’ has mentioned before.

It is a good thing that We did some fine Rhino Art for the event, back when. In this case, 2019. We are giving our Readers the thrill of seeing it again, since We in the office are having the ‘alternative thrill’ of an equipment failure. We curse and snarl, but the machine is not impressed.

Take it easy, out there. Contemplate staying home under the sofa.

Before We get embroiled, please note that neither hedgehogs nor flamingoes were harmed in the creation of this post. Indeed, there was a work stoppage from the flamingoes, all of whom walked out (no, they flew not.) The US Croquet Association kindly loaned us a mallet alternative.

Croquet has a reputation for charm and gentility, but We Rhinos find it hard to rein in our more volcanic side when engaged on the turf. Why tap the ball when We could whack it a block or two?

Today, the Croquet Association is getting together in Florida to make schemes and policies about their Great Game. Sounds exciting to Us Rhinos, even if We have no idea of what they’re doing.

Today in 1879, Albert Einstein was born. He made a major place for himself among scholars, scientists, and thinkers. In 1921 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics. A Science Celebrity, this Mr. Einstein.

Rhinos are out of our depth, We know. However, what We marvel at today is the access to information provided by libraries and computers. We can find out a great deal, just by looking for it. With due caution, We can support things We don’t entirely grasp.

No, We are not geniuses in Physics. We pay what attention We’re able, and trust to Good Fortune to fill in any blanks. We concentrate Rhino genius on Good Cheer and Comradery. And dinner.

We would help Mr. Einstein find a comb or two, if he asked.

We are aware that things are doing their internal shifting, Nature-wise. We Rhinos try to keep ourselves sensible, little-or-no breaking into stomping fertility dances. However, why resist?

Spring is a mighty display, advertising itself. If Nature didn’t want to agitate the troops (that’s Us), why go to the trouble of wiring Us this way? We Rhinos are just obeying our Urges, of which We have plenty.

We salivate a great deal, in advance.

Today We thought We should give you a clearer picture of our Rhino innards. Shown is a Rhino holding up a towel with many major parts illustrated on it. Pretty informative, right!?!

Today, or maybe yesterday, either Saturday or Sunday, however it is calibrated, We have the first day of Daylight Savings, or so We Rhinos are approximately informed. This means manipulating clocks, of which We are wary, so you may need help to get it right. We always do. Spring Forward is the latest suggestion, but you may well want a more reliable source.

Also, on the Lunar Front, it is the dark of the moon, meaning We don’t get to see it until soon. A Lunar Pit Stop, if you will. Then We get back on the Moon’s Merry Cycle. A bit disconcerting, Time and the Moon and all.

Being part of The Wild, We Rhinos feel We are partially responsible to maintan the peace, where there is some. If We find a place where contemplation is a possibility, We sit down and guard it; We feel a degree of stewardship when Out and About.

Quiet is therapeutic for many of Us Critters.

Alternatively, crazed revels have things to recommend them too.

Rhinos don’t like to be pushy, but We do want to remind our Readers that We each only get one chance at a First Impression.

Rhinos like to make these exchanges memorable. It’s a family tradition.

No matter when We Rhinos tune in, the Seasons are metamorphosing and tuning themselves as they see fit. Rhinos, no more than prairie dogs, must adapt and glow, accommodating the capricious Powers that Be.

Balloon drills are challenging, and demand attention and dedication. They also have to contend with the prevailing winds, however they prevail. Also, We need special equipment.

In the Wild, it’s always Time for huffing and puffing. Rhinos, no more nor less, than everybody else.

and once again, he puts his finger on the button!
