Sometimes Rhinos will sense that We are coming apart at the seams. Not so much physically as mentally. The Stresses associated with Santa, Dietary Indulgences, one Festive Hootenanny after another form a cumulative Pressure.
What can a Rhino do about it?
Hold on. Maybe take a nap. In a week or so, Normalcy will return from Vacation, and then We can complain about how dull things are.
‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’. You should not be surprised that Rhinos cannot count beyond 3, so that is all the verses We ever learn. Whatever the True Love gives above and beyond, We can’t recall.
After those hens, We just murmur “Tra la la”, and relax.
Rhinos have to allocate our energies in the face of Holiday Fervor.
Certainly holidays are grand in their way, but often that way involves a lot of sugar. Try as We Rhinos may, it is not easy to be Good in the face of SugarPressure.
Golly!
Also, Gee-Whiz!
And many Merry Moments!!
Very Best wishes from “Your Inner Rhino” today, just like every day.
Today We Rhinos sing the praises of Pfeffernusse, a small German-Danish-Dutch spice cookie, often dipped in powdered sugar. This is the official day for it, We are told.
Try them; you’ll like them. Sehr lecker!*
*very tasty. ‘Your Inner Rhino’, dealing with linguistic barriers.
Rhinos like to attend to matters ahead of time, on the occasions when We recall something is coming up.
Interviews are a big part of any Project which is going to involve Teamwork. You may think that one Partridge is like another, but they are high strung birds, unlike French Hens. Gotta be very Tactful with Partridges. You’d know that if you’d ever discussed Politics with one.
Things usually work out, eventually, but bring your Tact; you’ll need it.
Yes, yes, Your Inner Rhino is well aware that this year’s Ugly Christmas Sweater Day has come and gone. However, today’s post is provided so that you have a full year to get ready for the next UCS Day. When doing Ugly, don’t forget that a knowledge of knitting is barely necessary… extremely few Rhinos are skilled that way.
Our Readers are at liberty to improvise on this cunning design in a spiraling array of Variations.
2019 is on its way: Get Prepared.
Today is the Winter Solstice, at which point days get longer above the Equator, and get shorter below it. It’s because that’s how it is, a perfectly fine Explanation if there ever was one. Very Rhino.
In addition, this year there are a bunch of meteors and shooting stars whooshing around, just to celebrate the occasion.
Sometimes Nature gets carried away. Also Very Rhino.
Every Species has its own special sets of Guidelines, ways of keeping most family members from Catastrophe. These customs are taught in many ways, both direct and by Experiment. Despite Mavericks and Comedians, the point is that these Rules are in place. Rhinos call it Tradition.
Rhino Rules are not readily understood by Critters other than Rhinos. In fact, they are not always apparent to Rhinos; these are just the Do’s and Don’ts of Rhinodom. Generally speaking, We comply.
In our Efforts to comprehend the Rules of other Critters, We are seldom successful. Can We truly understand their what or why? We have doubts.
It should be obvious that Rhino Minds are not oriented toward Things, since We cannot own them, or transport them, or do anything much beyond eating them, when advisable.
That does not mean that We are disinterested in Mood Rocks. We like the idea of them, but have to let it go at that. Intellectual Curiosity, they call it.
Certainly saves on Clutter, that’s for sure.
Your Inner Rhino
