Yesterday - February 29 - was a very special day, one that occurs only once every four years, for a total of 24 times per century. I’m sorry I didn’t note the day yesterday, the DrsC were traveling.
That 24 isn’t an error, by the way. You’d think it would occur 25 times in 100 years, but when the year is evenly divisible by 100 but not by 400 we skip having a Feb.29. It happens because a solar year is just a little shorter than 365.25 days. The adjustment is necessary to keep the seasons happening at the same date each year, century after century.
