Leap Year--- the addition of 1 day to the calendar every 1,460 day just so we can keep the calendar year in sync with the astronomical and seasonal year. Without the addition of these 24 hours every 35,040 hours, we would be having Thanksgiving in 100 degree heat with 100% humidity. No turkey and stuffing can be good in those conditions. There are 3 COMMON years (non-leaping) and then 1 Fabulous Leap Year just so we can keep our April showers in April and October Harvest Moons in October.
This, my friends, is reason to celebrate. And if this is not enough, Geocaching.com has announced a special souvenir for the cachers that log a cache or an event on February 29, 2016. So why would you not come out and get your Leap Year Souvenir. 6:30PM @ China Buffet 2
