Biggest Lesson Learned of this challenge: Time stores your dates with your time but when you retreive it from the database, the date portion reads the start of Y2K 01/01/2000. Rails will retreive your date and time correctly when you store your events with a date in DateTime type. #neverforget #y2k 📅 🕛
