First used by the Egyptians, then adopted by Julius Caesar, and finalized in the 15th century. The perfected form is what we all know as the Gregorian Calendar today. Leap years fall on the bissextile years, or every year that is a multiple of 4.
Our last leap year was in 2020, but with all that pandemic chaos most of us forgot - except those were born on this special day. Happy every 4 years birthday!
With this one day added to even out our calendar year we are given this extra time for today! So don't waste it! Do something fun and adventures today! Maybe even go try to find some frogs because, well, today is defiantly their day!
Finding frogs is easy for us in the Black Canyon! The Colorado River Toad, also known as the Sonoran Desert Toad (see photo) is a common resident in our outdoor office. Finding the oasis's in the desert all the way down to Mexico along the river. While hiking the hot springs canyons it is fun to come across these little green buddies, we must remember proper etiquette with wildlife. Do not harm or endanger any creatures you find in the wild. Only professionals with proper knowledge should attempt to touch or handle any animal.

I love the idea of using an extra day to get outside and explore, especially when the trip might include spotting wildlife along the way. The reminder to observe animals without disturbing or handling them is an important one. I’ve always enjoyed Crossy Road, a casual game built around navigating different environments, and it gives me a similar sense of curiosity about discovering what might be around the next corner.
Was scrolling through some stats last night and stumbled upon AstroPay Norge. It is growing quite fast in the Norwegian iGaming sector, around 15% yearly according to what I saw. Most players there focus on bonuses and how secure the transactions are. I checked the details on astropaycasinonorge.no to see if it makes sense. The interface felt a bit clunky at first but works fine. Basically, it is just another payment method that is gaining ground. Take it with a grain of salt and check everything yourself.
