We're doing a third episode this month. I didn't want to do another one this month. I haven't

got time for this Tim, but I had to release a podcast on the leap day

29th of February I couldn't not do it it just like it was itching my brain.

I think it's because the time it takes for the earth to go around the sun isn't exactly lining up with the agrarian calendar or the time the way time works or something like that so we have to get

Catch up about a quarter of a day or a year or something like that Is that right? That's exactly right.
