‘Gesundheit!’ say all Rhinos in the face of Major Sneezes.
You may have imagined that Rhinos are above such mundane exertions, but you would have been mistaken.
Health is a Rhino Priority.
H2O, by the bucketful
June through August is Monsoon Season in Nepal, as you doubtless are aware. This is an occasion for great rejoicing among the natives, of which, We Rhinos are certainly some.
The afternoons provide a delightful daily deluge, and all the Greenery spreads itself wide, getting a serious Drink.
Then Plants grow and flourish, providing many of Us with serious fodder, which makes Rhinos grow and flourish. Nature’s systems: Unbeatable.
Equal Rights!
Wyoming (admitted to the country today, 1890) has a rich history. It is the there that the first women were elected justice of the peace, governor, and court bailiff- in the nation. Speaks of sensible thinking, at least that’s how Rhinos see it.
Almost half the land of Wyoming is held for the public to enjoy. The western 2/3 of the state are developments of the Rocky Mountains, and the eastern third is high plains. There are numerous mountain ranges, all of them pretty grand. And lots of national parks as well.
We salute Yellowstone National Park. Mighty fine- and astonishing too.
In Extremis
Today YIR wanted to direct your attention to the Gothic novels of Mrs. Ann Ward Radcliffe (b.1764). In her day, she was wildly popular in Britain, her heroines suffering non-stop in tempestuous situations, facing manipulative villainy at every turn.
The drama of these stories is dynamic, and Rhinos like the churning agitation and fast pace of her tales, such as ‘The Mysteries of Udolpho’ (1794) and ‘The Italian'(1797.)
Again, these stories were widely read, and their influence on consequent literature, drama, and film is self evident.
a YIR Reminder
The Staff at ‘Your Inner Rhino.com’ felt it would be good for our Readers to give themselves a refresher read of the ‘ABOUT’ section, which is right there, every time you open the blog. You just click on it.
It contains our Mission Statement, a set of profound Rhino protestations of Good Intentions and Involvement with you and the planet.
And how could you go wrong, humming that over to yourself?
Here We come…?
Rhinos are not equipped for roadmaps. We might find one, but what to do with it is mysterious.
Roadmaps are not easily digestible.
Easier by far to follow our nose: Standard Rhino Practice (SRP).
Excelsior
Rhinos are Naturally lucky. We are Rhinos, right? What more could We ask?
There are probably many other wonderful things to be, but in our experience, We’re mighty Marvelous. If Rhinos don’t celebrate Us, who’s going to do it?!
We trust this does not sound like arrogance; it isn’t. Its a simple holler of gratitude to Nature for its generosity.
Spuds!
On July 3, 1890, Idaho became the 43rd State of the United States. Congratulations!, say We.
Henry H. and Eliza H. Spalding had already (1836) introduced the Potato at Lapwai, in an effort to help the Nez Perce tribe with a viable crop. Idaho has many crops today, mainly grain, but somehow the Potato has held the spotlight.
Idaho has many National Parks, and a large part of the state is protected land. Rhinos are all for that way of thinking.
Refreshment
Lemons are very nice, but Rhinos find they make our lips wrinkly.
Ah, the rough with the smooth.
