The day that doesn't exist

I love leap day! Since it only occurs once every 4 years it feels like the culmination of a series of events. It's technically a day we skipped in pieces, and now must put back together as a whole. I've always felt for people born on this day, do they really exist more than once in 4 years? How did this day evolve anyway? Some elders were sitting around a fire one day, comparing their notes on the movements of the heavens and one of them, while poring over his charts and notes, says something like, "hey guys, I think we have a slight problem. There aren't an even number of days in an annual cycle. What should we do?" And then I bet it took them forever to think it over and ponder. I wonder if someone just had an epiphany and said, "I know! Let's just add an extra day every handful of years to account for the fractions!" Then someone else said something like, "but when would we add this 'spare' day to the calendar? It's pretty full already, ya know." And then someone else said, "well February has the fewest number right now, why don't we just add it onto that one?" And there were then shouts and rejoicing all around.

Do you ever wonder though, if there were no leap day, would our calendars eventually be off? Then spring might occur in November!
