Just for fun

Devil’s Tower

September 28, 2016

I’m not a movie person.  We don’t even have a TV in the Chief.  We haven’t seen an episode of a show in months (and if I was going to watch something, it would be season 6 of Game of Thrones) let alone a whole movie.  I was a “pass” on Devil’s Tower.  We just…
