US BLACK FRIDAY – UK BLACK FRIDAY
Yesterday I decided to waste some time experimenting with some video editors in few of future ideas. With my phone I grabbed off the computer screen the fun beginning of one of the 5 minute (fast) blitz rounds in the ongoing St. Louis battle. When they all start to go… whew!
