Rattlesnakes are common in the desert. Usually, they like cool mornings, but hole up when things warm up. They are not social animals, so they avoid people and predators. Smart folks avoid rattling snakes like they avoid growling dogs.
My husband George was deathly afraid of rattlesnakes. He saw them in the shadows; he saw them in his dreams; he saw them in his drunken stupors.
It was in one of those stupors that George stepped on a rattler in the hay room. By the time paramedics arrived, George was dead - and my boyfriend had picked up his pet rattlesnake.
