Some other resort-like places, but that seems to be about it.
A popular spot with the casino crowd, Ho-Chunk Casino is nearby. So we decided to take advantage of the good weather and move past Madison, WI (told you there was nothing good there). So, we sat in the parking lot and ate the pizza. We drove about a mile down the road to get some bubble tea. The pizza came out hot, fresh and in a bag. Looked at the old radios and other memorabilia that adorned the walls. “That would be great!” And before we could finish, Burt came out of the kitchen bellowing, “NO MORE ORDERS” “We can do a pick-up for you,” she offered. “Yeah, we leave the place at 1:30 and we’ll be back at 4:30, you guys local?” Got into the restaurant, sat ourselves, and Burt’s wife came in and asked if we called ahead. Dropped the address in our GPS and we were on our way to a nice sit-down lunch at a place we saw on TV…or so we thought. Admitting defeat, Howard and the interwebs came to the rescue. We put it into the GPS and it couldn’t find anything by that name. Jamie wanted to stop at a deep dish pizza joint called Minetti’s that she saw on Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations”. Quite a few trucks travel this way and we saw a couple of accidents (one of them had a 6-mile backup!)Īpart from the fact that we already made it to another time zone and we hadn’t eaten a thing since 7 in the morning. I took over the driving and things were getting a little easier. The wind was picking up and the snow was coming down a little heavier, but I was able to snap a pic of Touchdown Jesus (above). When it was time to switch, we were looking for a place to stop so we pulled into Notre Dame. Saw our first triple-trailer UPS truck (it was like driving next to a small train). We made some good time with Jamie driving in the morning. Eventually getting the info we needed, we headed out. Turned on the news to see the worst morning news program ever to air. The church’s electronic sign had a simple message flashing Tuesday: “He’ll Be Back.We got up early this morning and looked out the window to see an inch of snow already on the ground. No, they would have seen God’s work through that church serving them with that money.”Īpparently, the church hasn’t learned its lesson: People are not going to believe in Jesus because of a statue. That was God’s way of telling them that too. ”… they could have spent that money on the community or some other good cause. Others, like commenter “Jenna,” who lives in Touchdown Jesus’ neighborhood, had a different take on the demise of the $250,000 structure: News of Jesus’ demise brought the usual comments from posters at the Yahoo! News site - many speculating that the destruction was caused because of how the United States has turned her back on Jesus and doesn’t deserve to have his huge likeness around anymore - so he’s outta here. The statue, called “King of Kings,” was built by a local 4,000 member non-denominational congregation called Solid Rock Church back in 2004 and had attracted so much attention the church built a walkway for people to come and gawk at the giant Jesus. Well, the 62-foot-tall statue of Jesus known as Touchdown Jesus (because of how his arms were raised up like a football referee) that sits along I-75 in Monroe, Ohio was struck by lightning – reducing the famous figure to ashes. I wonder what Jesus did? Because Monday night, Jesus was struck by lightning. The usual joke is that if you say something that can be construed as blasphemous, you hope that lightning doesn’t strike you.
