Tomorrow/ Today is the day that only happens once every 4 years, its leap year. So you better enjoy that extra day. Isn’t that crazy how we have an extra day every 4 year, also daylight saving is pretty crazy too, and pretty stupid. Do any other countries have these really random/ pointless time of the year that you set your clock back/forward?

I hear daylight savings is pretty important in the farm community, which is why it was first created.
Daylight savings is pretty much worldwide, isn’t it? Except for the province of Saskatchwan here in Canada. They don’t do daylight savings. Which is weird seeing as all they do in saskatchewan is farm. Although, what would anyone want to do with an extra hour in Saskatchewan? It’s so flat that you can watch your dog run away for 3 days. Not a tree in sight, just miles and miles and miles of wheat fields blowing in the wind.
You’re right though, daylight savings is important to farmers, mainly cattle farmers. There’s more wheat, flax, and barley farmers in Saskatchewan, so daylight savings isn’t real critical there. That probably why they don’t have daylight savings.
I wish the leap year was an extra day that was considered a holiday. I wouldn’t mind an extra day off work.
This would be the first in 8 years, but I think they had one in 2000 didn’t they? Usually it’s every 4 years, except every hundred years when they don’t have one just as a slight ajustment, but then every thousand or so that’s cancelled out to make another slight ajustment? Eh, I dunno.
Re: Leap Year
It really is quite silly. That’s why we in Hawaii don’t do it. Of course that messes with out tv schedules twice a year.

I don’t think it is… I was under the impression that it was introduced during the war so ordinary workers could do a normal working day then come home and still have enough daylight left to tend to a vegetable garden.
To farmers it won’t make any difference at all; they’ll be working when they need to, rather than working to the clock.

right i’m gonna learn to leap on my unicycle!
wait thats not possible is it?
have you watched universe 2??? lol
The official ruleon leap years is every year that is divisible by four. Unless that year is divisible by 100, then it’s not a leap year. Unless that 100 year is also divisible by 400, then it’s a leap year.
So 1900 wasn’t a leap year (divisible by 4, but also 100 and not 400), but 2000 was a leap year (divisible by 100 but also by 400).
you don’t have to go and rub it in Todd!, but he is quite rite, they don’t chnage here. rite now it is the same as Manatoba time and in the summer it is Alberta time
I couldn’t resist. sorry.
sucker:D
It’s every four years, unless the year ends in 00. And if it ends in 00, then they see if the first two numbers are divisble by 4. In this case, 2000 works. But 1900 wouldn’t.
Ain’t this world crazy?
I was planted on a Leap Day, so while you can always try to count my rings (if I let you, fresh thing), you’ll have to divide by four to get my true age. That’s how this girl keeps her youthful vigor.
it happened again today, the rest of North America changes time and Saskatchewan stayed the same 
Yeah, I hate Daylights Savings Time. The world should just decide to wake up at 8 o’clock instead of 7o’clock. Maybe I’ll move to Saskatchewan one day, just so I won’t have to endure it.
