Hello to Leap Year February, where we use the calendar to align with our actual rotation around the sun - if you did not know, the earth takes 365.24 days to fully orbit around the sun. So while leap day is not exact to make up the 0.76 days, it's really close and we will forget about the extra 0.04 days since it takes 25 years to make that one full day - we make that up every centurial year where we skip leap day. The year 2000 was a centurial year but the scare of Y2K over shadowed the fact of skipping February 29 that year. If you are interested in various calendars, take some time and read the following article: https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEhelp/calendars.html
The first image this month is what I expect most of the Midwest will look like at some point this month. Winter has been fairly quite in Illinois so far but snow is expected next week - which will be welcome after the ice we still have on the ground from last weekend. This image is actually an old farm house located on the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge outside Denver Colorado during a snow storm.
Our second image this month is flat track motorcycle racer Jesse Janisch. This image was selected for a couple of reasons, we are less than 45 days until the first American Flat Track race of 2020 and Janisch recently announced he will no longer race professionally with AFT. Janisch has raced the past 15 years in flat track and this was the oldest image I have of him, from August 2008 at the Peoria TT. Janisch has the most wins in AFT TT races by any racer, a record he is proud of. Jesse and his girlfriend were always enjoyable to talk with at the races, when no one was around they would talk openly how they feel about current situations while most people are politically correct. Wishing him an enjoyable 'retirement' from flat track racing as he will start racing professionally in motorcycle off-road championships - once racing is in your blood, it's hard to stop.
Here's a link to download the appropriate version of this month's image for your desktop, one for standard screens and one for wide-screens. Right click on the text for the format you need and select Save As, save to a location on your computer that you can remember and change the background as needed for your OS.
