The following post was written by Rosendo Corral from El Paso, Texas. It was originally submitted to our iPhone contest, but it was so enjoyable that we had to share it with our readers.
I have been participating in the military Mass Transportation Benefit Program for some time now, and have seen accidents, breakdowns, among other interesting things.
One of the more common experiences riding to work in the mornings are the encounters with oryx (an African antelope introduced to New Mexico many years back). It’s a truly wonderful looking animal, yet aggressive and strong. Some of the oryx out here grow to be the size of a horse.
From inside of the VPSI vans they seem harmless enough, although there are cases where they have charged moving vehicles and even pierced through the vehicle body with their sharp long horns. But I have not witnessed that.
