Figuring Leap Years In Your Head I/E

When Augustus and Julius Caesar were working on the Gregorian calendar;The one we use today, February was going to have 29 days every year and 30 days every leap year;  At that time August had only  30 days, so why the change to 31 days in August?

Augustus Caesar notice his brother's month of July had 31 days, so he took the day off of February then place it on his month of August,so both months of July and August would now have 31 days.

               July was named after Julius Caesar 
         August was name after  Augustus Caesar

Why do we have leap year?  The earth makes a complete rotating circle around the sun in 365 1/4 days or 365 days and 6 hours. The leap year is to make up for the extra day, usually every four years.Read on...

To determine if a year is a leap year all we need to do is divide the year by 4 and to see if there is a reminder, if not then it's a leap year...

Let's take the year 2020, put the calculator away you won't need it, , simply take a look at the last two digits of 2020 if the last two digits of a number are a multiple of 4 then the whole number can be divided by 4 without a reminder.So 2020 is a leap year meaning that February will have 29 days that year instead of the usual 28.

It doesn't matter if a number has a zillion digits if the last two digits are a multiple of 4 then it can be divided by 4 evenally.
To make a game out of it,  you can use your calculator, input  some random digits, BUT let the last two digits be a multiple of 4, then divide by 4 and see what happens.There should be no remainder. (end)

                         

Angels Have Golden Wings

It is still 1963 and I am still upset that Allison and Heidi identical twins had to head back to west Germany...

In my bedroom, I tried to write one last letter to them , wrote on the envelope 'to Allison and Heidi, Germany' I knew that wouldn't work, so I addressed the letter in care of my elementary school. I heard nothing about it since then. 

I was crying by the barrel fulls so much so that my chest started to hurt:

  After closing my eyes:  The first thing I saw was a vivid image  of Linda, my beautiful friend,neighbor, and baby sitter  along with the rest of her church group outdoors. looking up at the stars praying.I felt this wavy sensation like a river flowing through my body then a calmness.

Inside my head I heard a female voice talking to me: "Stanley, because you have treated females as humans, and not as objects, you will be rewarded. When it's your time to go to heaven, Allison and Heidi will be waiting for you, along with your  friends and love ones, you have pure love in your heart, which is rare now-a-days" 

Female voice continues: "At the summer picnic, when you told Allison and Heidi that you love them, they already knew; Even before you told them . They knew, Stanley, they knew !"

The female voice I heard ,might of been the virgin Mary, Jesus' mother. but why  Mary's voice, and not Jesus'  ? Maybe God and Jesus decided I would receive more comfort from a female voice.

Was there something supernatural going on ?  Or was it my subconscious mind itself  comforting me, and  preventing me from going over the edge? 
                       Life is full of unanswered questions.
