Koohii Story 1 The day seems to drag when it keeps you from having a fiesta.
Koohii Story 2 "Bored with the sun always going the same way (“it’s such a drag”), I tuck the sun under my arm and try to drag it in the opposite direction to usual. EDIT: Notes (1): tucked under the arm is reversed here, i.e. a mirror image of the usual primitive. Note (2): Tow might be a better keyword: see my note at dribble out (#2849)."
