Today is Leap Day!

And so Friday ends the oddest of months. Every four years, the shortest month of the Gregorian calendar gets a little shot of adrenaline with a big ending.

Due to the Earth's rotation actually lasting 365 days and six hours, the extra day coming (nearly) every four years is used to correct the actual number of days.

This leap year brings an occurrence that happens once every 28 years.

Leap day will be on a Friday this year, an occurrence that last happened in 1980 and will occur again in 2036, said Dolores Tichenor, a professor of mathematics at Tri-State University.

"It's fairly regular, every four years, it changes by five-day cycles continually," Tichenor said. This pattern changes when the calendar hits those century years without leap days.

Noblesville Rated One of the Best Communities in the US

It's great to know that my parents were so smart to choose for me to grow up in the one of the Best Communities in the United States. I always knew I lived in a great community but when I saw that someone other than local residents had chosen our city I thought WOW!

Authors Bert Sperling and Peter Sander ranked Noblesville 10th in their book, "Best Places to Raise Your Family: The Top 100 Affordable Communities in the U.S."

Another New Road

Hard to believe that the area I grew up in is going to have a 4 lane highway going through it. I can remember when we got excited that the road was going to be paved

It will be so nice to have a mojor north-south corridor that we won't have to deal with all the traffic on St. Rd. 37.

With most of my family now living in Fishers, I will be able to take Promise Road from Noblesville all the way to Fishers.

New Borders concept coming to Hamilton County

My husband is going to love this. Another bookstore to browse in. I don't know about the digital part but he's going to love the books.

The new concept will include, a coffe shop , similar to Barnes and Noble.

It is exciting to have another option for book shopping or browsing.

IMAX coming to Hamilton County

Hamilton Town Center, a new Noblesville shopping destination just off Exit 10 of I-69 is to feature a new IMAX Theater.

We will have 16 different theaters to choose from. The Theater operated by Goodrich Quality Theaters will feature one 70 foot by 44 foot screen. It will also have a coffee shop and lounge.

This is great, now I won't have to make the jaunt to downtown to take the grandchildren to see the 3D movies.

State Proposes Roundabouts on US 31

More Roundabouts, guess what we are all going in circles. I do like not having to stop though, it is kind of nice to keep cruising when there is no one coming.

We are going to get 3 more roundabouts along US 31.

It is hoped that U.S. 31 through Carmel and Westfied will have traffic signals eliminated.

Carmel already has about 40 roundabouts.

What are your thoughts on the Roundabouts?
