The rally for a deaf president at Gallaudet University is pretty intriguing. I think I may have heard about it briefly before this assignment‚ but not enough to be able to explain it‚ let alone have an opinion on the matter.

NOW AND THEN: Darkness plagues the sky as the distant sun retreats behind the vast archipelago of clouds. Rain dropping like sheets of concrete‚ pounding the mud littered paddock. The clouds released a tremendous lightning strike illuminating the sky as if it were the 5th of November.
