Thursday Afternoon Diversion: Around America in Five Minutes

With colder weather in town this weekend, and winter knocking on our door, today's a good day to think back to warmer weather and free times, of just this past summer. Brian DeFrees brings us a time-lapse video of his two month road trip across the United States this summer. If you must see our fair city, start at 4:32, but the whole video is pretty fun, and worth the watching time.

*I think that must be forest fire smoke at 1:50.
*He got a ticket, 4:23.
