Rhinos are all good at Ambling and Roving, one place to another, at whatever pace suggests itself. Our primary pursuit is food, so that dictates many decisions about routing.
Consequently, Rhinos are always in the process of Arriving and Departing. We can’t proceed without doing both at once. Where We arrive may not be our ultimate Destination, but We still must do all the steps in between. Inescapable.
Whether We are paying a lot of attention or not.
Some Rhinos are prone to Random Fretting, while others are generally Placid.
Worrying can be enjoyable, if We are wired that way. And often, We won’t have to fuss over that same topic again, so We can apply our creativity to a new angst. Concerns refer to situations without a known outcome, requiring alertness.
We are not discussing dealing with Problems, which have Solutions. We are discussing Anxiety as a Hobby.
Tennessee was admitted to the Union on June 1, 1796. It was the 16th State.
Rhinos are not alone in appreciating Mr. Elvis Presley, ‘The King of Rock and Roll’, who lived near Memphis, Tennessee. That is where his home, Graceland, can be visited, if you’re in the neighborhood.
Rhinos like impersonating famous folk, just for fun. We are seldom mistaken for the original, We admit it. Every member of every species is, after all, Unique.
Kentucky became a state on June 1, 1792. Famous for a number of things, but today ‘Your Inner Rhino’ highlights Kentucky’s Mammoth Caves, which you could rightly assume are extensive.
Caves are spatially unpredictable, and mostly Rhinos are too chunky for the sport.
There are many places Rhinos are at home, but also a few where We are not Naturally comfortable. Like caves for instance.
There is a song which addresses ways to get to Scotland, either the High Road or the Low Road. Scotland is well worth the visit, but Rhinos seldom make elaborate travel schemes.
We like the Trip itself, which may or may not deliver Us to a destination. Lots to see, many critters to chat up. Sooner or later, so what?
Happy Trails, that’s the Rhino Idea.
Today is National Macaroon Day, though you may not have needed Us Rhinos to tell you that.
Mmm-Mmmmmmmmmmmm-Mm.
We Rhinos salute Wisconsin, a State since May 29, 1848. Full of Fine Folk, We have always liked visiting there, especially when it is not snowing.
It is also known as the Badger State, and that is one tough critter when riled. Obviously the trick is to leave it alone. Who would understand that better than Rhinos would?
Answer: Nobody.
‘Your Inner Rhino’ regrets to inform our Valued Readership that Montana was admitted to the Union on November 8, 1889. We blush, but please hold the following Post (Big Sky Country) to review, once November 8 comes around again.
Our research department is in the dog house.
Montana was admitted to the Union on May 29, 1848 (same as Rhode Island, though a different year.) It’s a great big plot of land, including a lot of Rockies, with many features and residents of interest.
The ‘X’ marks the Badlands, where there used to be a lot of Dinosaurs living. We know this because there are a bunch of bones to testify. Looking into this is called Paleontology, or something very close to that.
In case you noticed similarities, Rhinos are not related to Triceratops; by the time Rhinos came along, the Dinosaurs were all gone. But even We can’t help wondering, one way and another.
Rhode Island was the last State to ratify the US Constitution (1790). That said, it was the first colony to break the bond with Great Britain. Whys and Wherefores, who can understand ’em?
Rhode Island has much to recommend it, but a big feature is the lengthy shore line, given that Rhode Island is the smallest State. Also, there are many Harbor Seals and Rhode Island Red Chickens, if you are seeking them out.
Rhinos fit in well in Rhode Island, because there are so many citizens; it’s hard to notice Us, coming and going. We fit in, Naturally.
