Happy Leap Year!

Happy Leap Year!

Who says you can’t “make time?”  After all, we get an extra day every four years, right?   2016 is a leap year, giving us an extra day to do something special. Technically, this extra day just keeps us in line with the Earth’s rotation around the Sun.  It actually takes 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds for the Earth to make it around the Sun one time. So every 4 years or so, we have to add a day to our calendar to get us back in line.  Did you know that leap year doesn’t occur in years that are both divisible by 100 and by 400?  You might just win a trivia contest with that trivial info.  Have a great “extra” day!
