The Day of the Eclipse. There you go... one really cannot see the sun anymore.... but yes... there are still some illuminated spots.... then it is really not surprising that one will be able to see straight towards the moon.... after all, so many people are doing nothing else than shoot the moon. (Un jour d'éclipse. – Allons bon…. voilà qu’on ne voit plus le soleil…. ah ! si….. on aperçoit encore des petits points lumineux…… après ça c’est pas étonnant qu’on voye clair à travers la lune,….. tant de gens ne sont occupés qu’à lui faire des trous !), number 124 from the series News (Actualités)
