Lumberjack Politicos

On the mountaintop a sinking sunray hits a tile ï¬oor. Shining through the public chaletâs glass doors. The coffee machine guard has gone home. But there is a troubled rumour in the room. Suddenly the place ï¬lls up with freaks. Hippies left over from the sixties. And some striking hospital workers. Everybodyâs stoned. The sky is gathering like a stormy sea. On the radio, a voice says: âBonsoir, les amis. Nous voilà à presque dix ans de la Crise dâoctobre. Notons, par ailleurs, lâapproche dâune tempête de neige vers 20 heures.â
