Giant glowing pole

[beige_alert]

One of the local car dealers has a giant flagpole from which they used to fly a giant flag. They've given up on the flag, possibly due to the cost of replacing one of those huge flags, but the lights that formerly lit the flag all night are still on, lighting the pole up uselessly. So there it stands, the biggest, longest, tallest white pole around, glowing all night long. And wasting electric power. And contributing to the blotting out of the night sky. But at least we know who has the biggest pole.
