I named my blog after Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus -- A Roman consul who served only long enough to save his Republic before returning to his farm. Cincinnatus was the inspiration for the Order of Cincinnatus, to which George Washington and Lafayette and many other American Patriots were members. Omnia relinquit servare rempublicam - He relinquished everything to serve the Republic.

Ode To The Butter Jesus
Sadly, the BIG BUTTER JESUS aka. Touchdown Jesus aka. King of Kings of I-75 burned to the ground last night after being struck by lightning. This 62 foot statue is an icon for OSU students, truckers and lovers of Jesus all up and down I-75. He will be sorely missed. Was the fact he was struck by lightning an omen of some kind? I don't know but I always liked him because just a mile or so down the highway is a big mosque. There was something reassuring about that big butter Jesus presence. I hope the church rebuilds him.
