Baby Rhino


This is the new baby rhino that is being hand reared in a zoo in Germany. More info here. Of course I think she is very cute and am envious of the zookeepers that get to sleep next to her. It seems like she is being treated like a princess, as she should be... I decided I would just do a little sketch of her and one of her keepers (if I ever work on it more, which I probably won't as I don't usually revisit sketches, I will include the zookeeper's other leg).

So, how crappy is it that now on my day off, the weather is getting warmer and sunnier? I wanted to enjoy a dark, rainy day at home. I had to waste the two lovely, rainy days by working through them. I did, however, see on Facebook that one of my co-workers was over the moon because the weather was cooperating and he was planning on riding his bike to work. So, somebody is happy. In fact, from the complainy (yes, I know that's not really a word) statuses yesterday, probably everyone on Facebook is happy. I guess those of us on Blogger are more the dreary day types. I should conduct a survey.

I think in a little while I will have some more chili and pretend that it's raining. How does that sound?

Edited to add, I forgot to mention that last night at work, someone came up to the desk all in a panic because someone had sneezed on one of the keyboards. She wanted me to wipe it down. The county has made it clear that they can't afford to provide wipes or hand sanitizer for the workers, so they're certainly not going to provide this for the public. I think we're going to have a BYOW (bring your own wipes) policy for those that are going to be overly paranoid about every little sneeze. Hey, maybe they can wipe down all the books too while they're at it. Everything could use a good wiping.

Very nice drawing of the baby rhino...I wonder if rhino's roll over in their sleep? Be careful zookeeper.
