I’m starting the “30-Day Blogging Challenge” today with an interesting tidbit about leap years. Normally, leap years occur on any year that is evenly divisible by four—2020, for example. There is, however, an exception to this rule. The year 2100 is also evenly divisible by four, but it will not be a leap year. TheContinue reading “30 Day Blogging Challenge and Leap Year Tidbit”

Romance and Horror Combo Meal?
