This is some serious fun right here. Don’t believe me? Just try it next time you’re in a pasture and a herd of antelope come to graze.
Jason saw the antelope coming under the fence. I couldn’t even see them they were so far away. He has an eye for stuff like that.
He decided to get me closer so I could get a better look.
Their flight instinct kicked in. With hearts pounding and accelerated breathing, they took off.
And we decided to pursue.
Oh it was fun! Bouncing across the pasture on the tails of the antelope. Thirty miles per hour.
They zigged.
We zigged.
They zagged.
We tried to zag.
Antelope are much more agile than Chevys.
Their feet pounded the ground. Dust clouds billowed. I felt like a lion on the savannah. I pity the slowest prey, the last one. The one you know is about to be pounced and feasted upon. Its guts strung out over the prairie grasses.
I think I’ve watched too much National Geographic in my life.
We followed them for just a short while, giggling the whole time.
Then we stopped.
But not them. They were getting the heck out of dodge, away from those crazy antelope chasers.
Off into the wide, blue yonder,
safe and sound.

I’m Angel, a.k.a. Rocket Surgeon, and these are my chronicles. I love writing and I believe our stories should be shared, so here you’ll find anecdotes of my life, loves, worries, fears, joys, and experiences.
I blog about my mishaps and adventures as a wife, mommy, auntie, wanna-be writer, teacher, Texan, country/city/mountain girl, cereal killer and Jesus-freak.
A few things you might discover about me:
•Jesus is my everything; without Him I am nothing, but with him I can do all things
•My family makes this world a better place for me to live in
•I adore chickens, the live ones, although the cooked ones aren’t too bad either
•I have 2 dogs: Grace and Ozzie. And one cat: Rocky Muffin
•My dream job would be to raise chickens and write best sellers
