The Weeki Wachee Mermaid Historian Who “Never Touched Water”
By Megan Hussey - 'The Hernando Sun' February 4, 2023
Hernando County residents know Jan Knowles as a historian and tour guide, one who has led festive and informative tours,
sometimes in costume and by carriage, showcasing the history and spectacle of the homes, businesses, landmarks, and the art of Brooksville.
Yet, not everyone knows that Knowles herself is a shining part of local history. So, in honor of the 75th anniversary of Weeki Wachee Springs,
she has expressed a gracious willingness to share her story. “I was the only Weeki Wachee Mermaid that never touched water,” she declared.
Knowles was a featured performer at Webb’s City: World’s Most Unusual Drug Store.
The business that started out as a small pharmacy in 1925, by the 1950s and 1960s, under the ownership of James Earl Doc Webb,
had morphed into a megastore featuring 77 departments offering clothes,...

Carlo Rovelli is a quantum gravitational theorist.
Carlo Rovelli's new book is titled; "The Order of Time".
This is an excerpt from a review on a Dutch blog:
Carlo Rovelli concludes that the time structure of the world is more complex and layered than the naïve image we have of it.
That naïve or primitive image is suitable for our daily lives, but not to understand the universe.

Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure
who punishes children during the Christmas season
who have misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas,
