OK. I admit it. I'm a bit of a nerd. I like roads. I like geology. I like history. Boring stuff, unless you're like me, then it's really cool stuff.

For folks like me, this video's for you. And for people not like me, well, you might like it too, thanks to the positively frenetic presentation by Nick Zentner, a geology professor at Central Washington University.

The topic of his talk, which was delivered last month in Ellensburg, is described in its title: Bing Crosby, the Sunset Highway and the Channeled Scablands.

For those unaware, Crosby was from Spokane, the Sunset Highway runs through Spokane and the Channeled Scablands still define much of the topography around Spokane. 

So Spokanites, grab some popcorn and watch.

P.S. Did I mention I like geology?
