The title does not refer to snakes but to basketball. The Rio Grande Vipers is a team in the NBA development league. As neither Ed nor I follow basketball we don't know much about the sport, the NBA and had never heard of the NBA D League. A representative from the team came to Saturday coffee a few weeks ago and told the group about a Winter Texan special. A bus would come to the park, pick us up, drive us to dinner at local restaurant, take us to the basketball game, give us a Winter Texan Viper T-shirt and finally drive us back to the park all for $25 a person. Ed was a little hesitant but I talked him into so we joined 30 other people from our park on the basketball outing. Dinner was OK but the restaurant did have a little trouble serving two bus loads of people at the same time. (There was a 2nd bus from another RV park). The basketball game was good though very loud --- my ears hurt for a couple of hours after the game. It really helped that I sat next to Carol who was fairly knowledgeable about basketball. Ed and John spent the game happily shooting photos and took some really good action shots.
I'm sure Ed would be very disappointed if I didn't post a photo of the team dance squad.
Several groups of young dancers also performed during half time. This group was very good --- I think there were 20 some girls and one boy.
