On March 15, 44 BC, Julius Caesar was terminated by Roman Senators. Caesar had run into a soothsayer prior to the actual unpleasantness, who told him he was in trouble. Not paying attention, Caesar learned the hard way.

The soothsayer did not say “Beware the Ides of March” because they all spoke Latin. Cave Idus Martias was the way it was really delivered back then.

Rhinos like stories with a moral, and the moral here is: Don’t get too big for your britches. Make of that what you will…

Today is National Potato Chip Day. Rhinos love Potato Chips, mostly due to their saltiness. Salt: mmm-mmm-mmm!

Rhinos make up songs about favorite foods. (See the sample supplied, a timeless favorite.)

Also, We love crunch in a snack. Warning: If you let P. Chips get wet, they lose their crunch. No joke.

Rhinos are not accomplished winkers. We see other critters winking away, and envy them.

When We try our winking mechanisms, We find that all the parts of our faces go into some sort of spastic frenzy, falling short of the desired effect.

It’s not easy to get winking lessons in the Wild.

Tonight is the beginning or end of Daylight’s Savings. By tomorrow, an hour will be swallowed up and gone. You ask a genius about it; you’ll see.

To Us it seems so improbable, no matter how many explanations We request. It is like Time Travel without the luggage, or maybe it’s with all one’s luggage.

Rhinos understand Time as ‘now’ and ‘some other Time’. Setting our clocks is unneccasary as Rhinos cannot tell Time.

Rhinos are not comfortable in the kitchen. We know nothing about kitchens themselves, nor about any expectations of what could happen in one.

Gratitude is not the issue, but We feel our Readers should think kindly of Us not sharing our ignorance.

Trust Us, nobody wants a Rhinoceros as a sous-chef.

A favorite Rhino Tot Tale involves the ancient Rhino claim regarding Glowing in the Dark. Most Rhino Tots imagine it like glowing with Magic. What their mothers mean is that the young are incandescent, full of light. But Rhinos never get over the original idea. We bathe in the secret powers We inherit.

Last night’s post was an exaggeration, perhaps. But it still is a cherished memory for the Tot inside each of Us Rhinos.

Thank you all for understanding our R enthusiasm.

We Rhinos feel that it won’t give our Readers misgivings, but to quell constant rumor, We have to admit that, yes, Rhinos do glow in the dark. It’s subtle, but it’s there.

Nature has probably given Us this feature, just to keep Us from bumping into one another, or as a warning to other critters. In the Wild, nights are very dark, you may believe.

Neat, huh?!? We can glow or not, at will. The color can vary for assorted reasons.

We ran into a quote and felt it may have been written for Us Rhinos.

“You are confined only by the Walls you build Yourself.” (no source information)

There are plenty of arguments for tending to business, but that does not mean We must exclude the rest of the Big Picture. Too much solitude can make a Rhino squirrely. And Odd. Ask anybody.

Rhinos are not gifted at planning or deciding what conclusion We should aim for, No, No, it’s true. We are not mechanically clever or visionary. We leave that sort of stuff up to Nature.

Is this approach a copout? Possibly. But the Rhino Family have used this system for 50 million years and come out OK.

However, We liked this quote, so We pass it along to those of you who know what a plan is, and what to do with it.

In 1517 or so, maybe, Juan Ponce de Leon might have found the Fountain of Youth in Florida. He never mentioned it if he did, but he died in 1521, so he may not have gotten around to it.

The idea is appealing, just for the mystique of it; how it worked would be anybody’s guess.

So today’s post is about things that might be dandy, or no, but will We ever know? Y’know?
