Things I did not know

Fort Sam Houston, in San Antonio, Texas, has a structure on it called "The Quadrangle".  It's a large, walled compound currently occupied by Army North.  It was the beginnings of Ft. Sam Houston when Texas first joined the USA.  It's served multiple functions over the years, including being the jail that held Geronimo after he was captured.

Sometime in the past, it acquired peacocks.  So when you walk into the compound, you're greeted by the cacophony of calls from ducks, geese, and peacocks that wander the grounds. 


The tall structure in the back is the clock tower.

There's also at least six deer that make the quadrangle their morning breakfast spot.  The deer I can see in Texas.  I have no clue how the peacocks got there.  They also have white ones.
