Sometimes I wonder about the extra six hours that float around early spring when it isn't a leap year, and they don't get to go into making a day. They just kind of disappear, like the "o" in Czechoslovakia when it split in two (it was only really there to join them together in the first place). I wonder if they could ever be put to any kind of use - would you even know them from any other six hours?
I'll probably spend them sleeping and not even know it.
Then again, if February 29 last year is any indication, they'll probably make themselves known in some way. It really is a good thing Leap Day only comes once every four years. I don't think I could take it any more often than that.
