"Fury" WWII Movie Worth Watching


M551 Sheridan Tank

by Chuck Ness

I don’t watch much television anymore. If I do they are old Westerns or reruns of old sitcoms. There isn’t much coming out of Hollywood worth watching, but a friend recommended the movie, “Fury”. I said if it’s ever on for free I would. Well it was on AMC, so I watched it.

The movie takes place near the end of WWII, when Germany was throwing everything they had into the battle in an attempt to stop the allied invasion from reaching Berlin. The best chance Hitler had was using what he had left of his famous Panzer tanks.

A Train Ride From My Past



A reflection On My Past

I first wrote this account in 2010 when I was still writing for the Chico
Enterprise Record. I did edit some of it to reflect more accurately the years
since the events took place, but otherwise it is as I originally wrote it.

Have you ever wondered how people get from point A to point B? I don't mean in a physical mileage way, but rather an emotional, phycological, and spiritual way. We all take in our surroundings and make decisions based upon the way we see things happening, and the way we feel. Then we get to a certain point in our life when we take an inventory of how we are doing. Sometimes we're relatively satisfied, other times we're disappointed, but do we ever really reflect upon the decisions we made that ultimately got us to point B?
