I hate snakes, I hate 'em!!!

I have always said that if we find that they named our street Rattler Rd. for a reason we would move. Well this morning Brian came running in the house saying there was a snake in our backyard and it was a kind he had never seen before. I went out to investigate and sure enough it was a rattle snake. When I told Jason (he was standing on the deck...big tough guy) it was a rattle snake he rolled his eyes and shook his head. He slowly made his way over to where we were (with the no way my crazy little wife knows what she is talking about look on his face) and said "that's a rattle snake"...is there an echo out here????
