This is the old airport control tower in the Mueller neighborhood. Some years ago, the Mueller airport moved from this site to the closed Bergstrom Air Force base. When the Mueller neighborhood was developed, they left the tower standing.
This is a water tower. I’ve driven by it countless times and wondered what it was. I finally saw a reference to it in the information about the urban hike through the Mueller neighborhood.
I saw these while on an urban hike through the Mueller neighborhood in Austin, Texas. What a great idea!

Pack Mentality
Tina saw them approaching, knew what was coming. Get three boorish men together, they think they’re an army. Add alcohol and their delusions of grandeur expand, considering themselves invincible. Misguided pack mentality, she thought.
“We don’t like your kind in here,” one man slurred. “Why don’t you swim the rest of the way.”
She ignored him.
He leaned in, “Afraid of getting your hair wet?”
She growled, displaying her fangs. On cue, several other werewolves came out onto the deck, circling the men. Three splashes soon followed.
Yes, as the alpha werewolf, Tina knew a lot about pack mentality.

Every time I drive by this business I admire their doors. Finally I had my camera with me (on yet another grey day).
Thursday is for Doors over at Norm 2.0.
Some days one parking spot just isn’t enough?
