Time can be geological, historical, millenial, generational, eternal or poetic. Current time can involve years, months, seasons, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds and subparticles thereof. Time can fly or drag along. It can heal everything or be the enemy. There's no time out from time!

I hope you find some things here that you didn't know before, so that you feel your time was well spent. Time is money (or at least we talk about it as though it can be spent, saved, lost, wasted and stolen). Be generous with your time and use it joyfully!

Canada has six time zones—Newfoundland is half an hour before Atlantic Standard. The area is so northerly that the latitudes aren't far apart. Their time zones are somewhat more political than geographical and because the observation of Daylight Savings Time is spotty, so you just have to see the maps to know what's what in winter or summer.

Gregorian Calendar—history of the calendar.

Why was 2000 a leap year?
1. Years divisible exactly by 4 are leap years except
2. Years divisible exactly by 100 are not leap years except
3. Years divisible exactly by 400 are leap years.

Thus 1800 and 1900 were not leap years in the Gregorian calendar by virtue of rule 2 and 2100 will also not be a leap year for the same reason. However 2000 is a leap year as defined in rule 3.

That wording is easier to understand than this:

That the several Years of our Lord, 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300, or any other hundredth Years of our Lord, which shall happen in Time to come, except only every fourth hundredth Year of our Lord, whereof the Year of our Lord 2000 shall be the first, shall not be esteemed or taken to be Bissextile or Leap Years, but shall be taken to be common Years, consisting of 365 Days, and no more; and that the Years of our Lord 2000, 2400, 2800, and every other fourth hundred Year of our Lord, from the said Year of our Lord 2000 inclusive, and also all other Years of our Lord, which by the present Supputation are esteemed to be Bissextile or Leap Years, shall for the future, and in all Times to come, be esteemed and taken to be Bissextile or Leap Years, consisting of 366 Days, in the same Sort and Manner as is now used with respect to every fourth Year of our Lord. (British Act of Parliament by George II in 1751)

Thirty days hath September, April, June and November; February has twenty eight alone All the rest have thirty-one Except in Leap Year, that's the time When February's Days are twenty-nine from Nursery Rhymes - Lyrics and Origins!
