Filmed in Taylor – Infamous (2006)

September 8, 2023 Leave a comment

Having worked in the entertainment industry. Something I love about Taylor is it’s history in the film. I love figuring out location shots and seeing what has changed.

Infamous released in 2006 staring Toby Jones as Truman Capote. Looks into him interviewing murderers Dick Hickock and Perry Smith.

This is from a street scene on east 2nd street. The Bohl’s family has deep roots in Taylor, so I have no doubt that was a real store. Now the street is home to new local businesses, including the new restaurant Mixtape.

Walking home from Old Taylor High. We ran into a Mom with her little kittens. After running him to grab a cat carrier and some food. We were able to get them rounded up and get them out to the farm.

After checking with shelters and them all being full, we decided to take care of them until they could be adopted.

Finally got a smart car

March 9, 2021 Leave a comment

Super excited to have purchased a Tesla Model Y. And to be honest I didn’t purchase it because it was electric, I did it for the autopilot.

The electric was one of the main reason I have been hesitant for years. I haven’t been ready to change everything I have known about driving. I really just wanted the safety of the car, and myself, paying attention to the road.

I am not sure why other carmakers don’t understand this, it the software that brings a lot of people to this car, but then we stay for the hardware.

And I have to say, it’s a lot of fun to drive. The acceleration is something I have only felt in high sports cars. So it is a good thing all the safety features are there.

Autopilot is awesome! It takes some getting used to, but once you and the car learn each other it is very helpful. Make sure to keep a hand on the wheel or you will lose it till your next drive.

So far I am really loving this car. The only drawback is not having CarPlay, but I am sure I will get use to it.
