On one of the rare summer days below 100 degrees in Arizona, Dean Jackson was out for a short walk with his dog. He took a moment to look down at his phone while his dog relieved himself, but looked up quickly at the sound of a rattle. Poised by his remarkably oblivious dog was a large rattlesnake. With no hesitation, Jackson did what he does best: kick. The good news was that the dog was out of danger as the rattler flew over the road. The bad news was that at the same time, a speeding biker was being pursued by police and flew past Jackson at just the wrong time to get hit by the previously mentioned flying snake.
