Is the inner meaning "the star" or "the pole", one wonders as one hits the last few keys on this computer

As seen from my 3rd story window in my Hyatt home in El Paso. I have heard the story of this "Star" but then I don't recall all the details. I do know that you can see if from Juarez. On the other hand once in a while they put up a Mexican Flag that is "huge" and you can see it from a lot of El Paso. East El Paso at least. This star is sort of a "in your face" were Texas I suppose. Maybe it is just Texas pride. Maybe it really is just a good way to make a buck. They are making a buck selling sponsors of the Star and it is only light when it is under sponsorship I think. Today I am back in Albuquerque. Been gone for a long time it seems like. Went running this morning in the dark. About 4 miles. With a freind. Shouldn't have been talking so much. Ya sure. Feel brused my hand. Got up finished the run, of course. Took the brighter picture when I got back to the room. Found out that the El Paso sidewalks are just as big a problem to fall on tripping in the dark as the New Mexico or Utah ones for that matter. Once upon a time on a intersection far far away near 23rd east and 4500 south.......................... a friend and I stood about 5 am. It had been raining hard for most of our run. We went out and in about 15 minutes we were being dumped on. Stood on the corner. A bus turned the corner. It was like standing under a waterfall as the water from the street and gutter went up and came down and covered us. We figured what the heck keep going and it took us about an hour to get back home. Don't know if I have expounded on how great running is. Truth is I mean it.
