Rhinos require our sleep to refresh ourselve and gather our wits in Dreamland.

Yes, but what can We do about critters operating on a different system? Well you might ask. Some apparently do nothing all day, then get up as the sun goes down, and make up the lost time, howling, cackling, hallooing and chattering. In short, they carry on.

We occupy whatever space We are allotted, and hum mantras to ourselves. Thus Rhinos build our character and get on with ourselves. As best We Neighbors can.

Ever-lovin’, One Way or Another- Your Inner Rhino.

Enthusiasm: it’s hard to beat.

It may explain how Rhinos are so astoundingly successful, at least most of the time.

Inside our Rhino heads there are so many events and combinations and confusions that We need laser focus to figure out anything. Sadly, We often forget to flip the laser switch when We could use the help.

What We can report is that there is a boatload of static doing its merry cha-cha in there, whether We ask for it or not.

Rhinos often describe our responses and other contributing factors as Consternation.

There may be one somewhere, but We Rhinos have never seen a ‘Normal Rhino’. It can cause some confusion for Us, trying to comply with an image that does not, nor ever will, fit. We do not aspire to be just like one another. That is where “you-seen-one, you-seen-’em-all” thinking comes from.

Rhinos have things in common with one another, but We are members of various families, have standards that only Rhinos are equipped to exemplify, and like that. But no two of Us are the same, Same. That’s what makes a Rhino Race.

Rhinos have lots of things in common with hedgehogs and kangaroos (ears, noses, feet, etc.), but there is that One Big Natural Difference: Rhino Heart, the Passport to Fabulosity.

Rhinos have so many brilliant ideas and startling insights, it blows Us away!

No doubt you have heard of ‘the One that got away’, popular in fishing circles. For Rhinos, the norm is closer to the Bunch that got away, in our case, dealing with dazzling perceptions. We are lucky that the word ‘bunch’ is so approximate; We can forget ’em as they hop off the griddle, bunches at a time.

Another way to look at it is, We Rhinos thus make room for even more nifty thinking Tomorrow! Or ten minutes from Now.

To preclude a Reader Riot, We are celebrating the Full Moon right away. We are aware that We often miss the actual date We’re extolling by a few minutes. Not telling Time, as Rhinos don’t, it does not seem like much of an issue, but in case it does, We regret causing a fuss.

While investigating your Inner Rhino, it might be a good exercise to relax about these elective deadlines. Why tear out your hair about events you had forgotten existed?

Things often smell sweeter at night, We think. And Rhinos have had lots of practice testing our theory on the matter. Millions of years worth.

Summer is a good time to acknowledge our Very Best.

Rhinos use this opportunity to Prance.

Rhinos do have brains. Masked by a detached-but-stately exterior pulses a brain of extraordinay capabilities. So, that’s a good thing, and Rhinos have always been aware of our staggering potential.

But forming opinions is not easy for Rhinos. The problem comes from a rich Imagination and an uncanny ability to allow for alternative facts and outcomes, to predict developments, to assess extenuations. We find ourselves veering toward Answer A, but We could also accomodate B & C as they mysteriously appear, presenting convincing arguments for their merits.

Ultimately we have to settle for No Opinion. Rhinos experience marginal Inner Peace. Not so much aggravating as numbing.

Yesterday was World Parrot Day. (The Y.I.R. office apologizes for this tardy post.)

Please treat your Parrot nicely, or any Parrot nicely, but watch your fingers.

Parrots are quick.
