Leap Year???

Why didn't anyone tell ME? Here I was, thinking it was a short month, but it turns out it's damn near normal.

Why add the day in February like we actually need it. Add it to July or August so we get an extra day of summer.

I literally only noticed this today myself, while looking at the calendar, and it STILL took 30 seconds before the "29" box on the February calendar actually sank in and set off the dim bulb of realization in my feeble and antiquated brain...

LOL, that's why I posted this thread here, to see how many of you guys are as feeble as I am. John E, that's a perfect example of just how confusing it all really is.
