“Thank you” is a welcome sentiment when offered, and We Rhinos enjoy feeling that way toward those who have been thoughtful with Us.
And so We say, “Thank You”.
The Rake’s Progress
Autumn is different in different places, but We like it, wherever and whenever. We love to roll around in the leaves, and inhale that special scent.
Even if it does make Us Rhinos sneeze.
Ginger Snappy
Mondays are unpredictable for Us Rhinos. Because We have no calendars, We can never be sure when they occur. Somebody will mention it’s Monday, and We will say, “Golly”.
We like this arrangement of Mondays. Somehow, We always feel upbeat when We get the news. Also Tuesdays.
Yellow is the color of Good Times, that’s how Rhinos see it.
Focal Length
An old Rhino Truth is that We can only pay attention to one thing at a time. Our observations may be stimulating, dazzling and astonishing; doubtless they are.
However, while a Rhino is communing with Topic A, Topics B through Z are being ignored.
That is just how things work, Naturally.
Whozat?
In our dreams, Rhinos often have a Companion, but when We try to figure out who the Companion might be, We fall short. The Companion is familiar, but seems to have forgotten to announce itself specifically.
It feels like We have a colleague, a pal, an alter-ego, a version of ourselves there to smooth the path through the dream. A guide perhaps.
Dreamland plays by unusual rules. Period.
Now you see it, now you don’t
Olde Time Rhinos used to stroll over to Doggerland whenever We liked, for lots of thousands of years. Why not? Back then much of the water became ice, consequently lowering the sea level. Off and on for 100 thousand years.
And then things changed, the ice began to melt, and everyone had to decide where to go, one way or another. Pretty impressive alterations in the real estate.
Rhinos are used to these Natural Developments. They keep Us on our toes.
Ambitions
‘Your Inner Rhino’ is a daily product of the entire Rhino species, Worldwide. RhinoLore is pretty extensive, and We try to cover issues our Readers want explored.
Now and then We get questions about why there is no ‘Your Inner Aardvark”. Naturally, We have to point out that 1) We don’t know, and 2) We would deduce that Aardvarks have other priorities.
Not every species is sensitive to the privilege and pleasure of having a Readership.
Nothing could be finer…
Today, in 1789, North Carolina was admitted to the Union, the 12th State. North Carolina has a rich and varied history, with a rich and varied wildlife.
Of interest is Kitty Hawk, site of the Wright brother’s famous flying experiments. December 17, 1903, a successful flight of 59 seconds!
Rhinos have tried to find out how birds feel about having their flight paths cluttered, but birds are hard to pin down on many topics, including this one.
The Drawing Board
Long since, We Rhinos concluded that Nature had no intention whatever of Rhinos being Perfect. Consequently, We are appealingly slapdash.
And a good thing too. If Rhinos were all Perfect, there would be next-to-no way to tell one of Us from another.
By the present system, We get more varied approaches to the Matters at Hand. Which may account for something spectacular, at least We hope so.
When at first
Not all the practice on earth has ever made a Rhino a gifted rope-skipper. We have tried. We have tried and failed. Repeatedly. And yet again.
Determination is fine and dandy, but even for Us, a point comes when some other source of merriment demands investigation.
Best to do those investigations while We can still hobble.
