Universal Hour of Peace. I looked this up and the hour of peace begins at 11:30 p.m. on Dec 31 and goes to 12:30 a.m. on Jan 1. It is with hopes for a war-free world.
No Interruptions Day
Leap Second Adjustment Day. I looked this one up to and here’s what it says:
Leap Second Time Adjustment Day is listed as an observance title only. Some years scientists do not make adjustments. But, if they do, then it’s done on either June 30 or December 31.
The majority of the world measures time solely based on a 24 hour day in which each hour contains 60 minutes, and each minute contains 60 seconds. That measurement is much too simple for accurate time measurement.
since about 140 AD, scientists have attempted to break down the hours in the day into a consistent and precise means of measure. Due to the variability of the Earth’s rotation, measurement of the 24 hour day is not an exact science. There is some dispute over the validity of leap second adjustments. Some years scientists do not make adjustments. But, if they do, then it’s done on either June 30 or December 31.HOW TO OBSERVE #LeapSecondTimeAdjustmentDay
Whether an adjustment is made or not, here are ways to celebrate:
Watch an episode of Quantum Leap.Play the game leapfrog.Listen to “Leap of Faith” by Bruce Springsteen.Sneak up on someone and see if you can scare them into leaping into the air.Leap for joy.Watch the moon landing and listen for Neil Armstrong’s famous quote.Sing the 12 Days of Christmas and see if you remember which day leaps.Take a leap of faith.
Use #LeapSecondTimeAdjustmentDay to post on social media.LEAP SECOND TIME ADJUSTMENT DAY HISTORY
Scientists first introduced the leap-second system in 1972.
Like we say here literally on the last day of the year: “Have a good slide into the new year!” (Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!) or “Get well across into the new year!” (Kommt gut rein ins neue Jahr!)
In short to all my dear Graham Crackers, my “Ten Cats”-Friends, and to the wonderful Mr. Graham Harrop:
Also Happy New Year to all the sweetest ten cats here – ladies first – to Lily, Bluebell and Jellybean, than Oliver and Woof, Mr. Hollingworth, Route Nine and This Side Up, and last not least Jack and Chesney! ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone. I don’t know what your plans are, but I hope you all have fun tonight doing what you want to do. Paul and I will celebrate by going to bed around 9, and waking up next year to mimosas and whatever celebratory breakfast I decide to make.
He’d have been fine with the first two. Lily is proud of those personality traits because she is queen. The third one results in death from any female of any species.
I know I’ve seen a drawing identifying all the cats, but now I can’t find it. Sunday’s strip only showed some of them. Anyone know where I might find the pic showing all of them & their names?

Chesney should resolve to keep his mouth shut when necessary. (I doubt he will though.) On another note, heard some birds singing while out walking today. A nice way to end the year. I’m not doing anything big for New Year’s Eve, just a small party at home with family. (Wouldn’t have it any other way.) Happy New Year, everyone!! :)

Chesney could resolve to be a wee bit more tactful with Lilly.
LastRoseofSummer Premium Member almost 5 years ago
He can add stupid, dumb and idiocy to that list. Will he ever learn not to tee off Lily?
laughingkitty almost 5 years ago
I think Chesney should concentrate on making (and keeping) his own resolutions – things like being nicer to Annie and behaving himself.

Chesney went one too far, ‘Hefty’ was probably his undoing!

Shouldn’t have said Hefty. That’s what pushed her over the edge.

Chesney, maybe This will be the year that you learn not to mess with Lily!
marilynnbyerly almost 5 years ago
He’d have been fine with the first two. Lily is proud of those personality traits because she is queen. The third one results in death from any female of any species.

Happy New Year everyone. Whether 2019 was good or bad for you (I for one will be glad to see the back of it) may 2020 be a hundred times better.
