leaping

Yesterday was leap day, and today is March 1. Leap years are the funniest thing. We have a leap year every year that is divisible by four, except for the years that end in “00” (1800, 1900, 2000, etc.). In that case, we only have a leap year if the year is divisible by 400. So 1900 was not a leap year, but 2000 was. Then there’s also the leap “days”. I’ll have to look up the science surrounding that. I believe we have a leap day every 100 years, and I think an extra hour is built into the calendar. All this leaping is very confusing!
