I am a writer and photographer. My primary web presence is at https://sydweedon.org/.

I’m a tarot card reader and sometimes magician. I talk to spirits. Sometimes I hear the angels singing.

I like nice cars. Currently I have a Nissan Murano and a Ford Fusion. I’m a father and grandfather and proud of all of them. I love Mexican food, seafood and beef. I have an expansive collection of bad habits. I speak my mind. Proud Democrat. Typical fault-finding Virgo.

“I do my best to ignore the Derby but every year it manages to snag me into its Dionysian vortex. I love the animals and the pageantry. I love the suspension of normal reality for a few days when we really stop caring about what the rest of the world is doing and just have fun…”

The Kentucky Derby is Better Than Christmas

This is me talking about the Derby, the horses, the rain and the squirrels.

Some of my best memories

Some of my best memories are of being out on the water with my father fishing, If I could, I would go back there in a heartbeat.

Chatting with the AI

What are the best things to feed to squirrels? Squirrels can be delightful little guests, but it's important to offer them the right kind of snacks. Here are some treats they'll appreciate: Nuts (unsalted): Walnuts, pecans, almonds, and hazelnuts are great choices. They’ll happily gnaw away. Seeds: Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are squirrel favorites. Fruits: Apple slices, grapes, and berries are safe for them in moderation.
