From the shelf

Nothing in the canon is tethered to February 29. One line is set aside for this year, the same line for every reader.

February 29 stays in the book in common years. The lived calendar skips it. This page does not.

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.
Benjamin FranklinPoor Richard’s Almanack · 1755

In 1960 this day opens on Winston Churchill.

Arrow keys turn the day. S keeps the line. Slash focuses search.
