Peace Tree No Good Without Jesus

Colorado Department of Transportation Fells the "Peace Tree"
Sterling had hired a chain saw artist last month to put a peace sign and the words "Peace Tree" on two sides of the tree. The tree stood near U.S. 34 and on Sterling's property in Big Thompson Canyon.

Sterling said he wanted the tree to remain standing to brighten up the canyon for motorists. But CDOT said Sterling did his work without proper authorization and that it could pose a traffic hazard.
Guess he should have put up a billboard instead. One of those crappy homemade "Jesus Saves" ones that you can see all along I-70 throughout Indiana.
