Greg and I ventured up to Indian Wells to watch a preseason NBA game between the Suns and Warriors. The Suns were the host team, and the crowd was definitely a Phoenix crowd. I've missed going to Suns' games since we moved away from Phoenix, so seeing our team again was definitely a treat. It was a festive atmosphere and a lovely way to spend an evening outdoors in the cool desert air. I was reminded of how frenetic people can get while diving for free t-shirts. Gee, 50ish man, enjoy your victory over the nine-year old much? But still, it was a great evening.

We also enjoyed the trip up to Indian Wells, going through parts of Southern California we hadn't seen before:
Rocky, shrubby, a little piney, and mostly empty of people. Intriguing little roadside stands for us to investigate in the future. Several places advertising "Beer to Go". Fun hairpin turns! On the way back today, we stuck to the main roads and saw freakier things like conspiracy theory billboards. The whole Palm Springs area makes me want to floor the accelerator every time. Sixteen hours there to see the Suns was worth it, though!

Beer to go. Seems like a winnah!
Not too many people at the bball stadium? Is that because it was outdoors, or not at its usual place?
That pic was during warmups. It was almost a sellout.
Greg will have to investigate the "beer to go" places. Maybe it'll be like Blue Heaven, where nobody checks for open containers? ;)
