I had an idea for a design last night when I was falling asleep. It was a genius idea. I knew I should have grabbed my phone and typed a note to myself about it so I wouldn't forget, but it was so good, I figured I wouldn't forget it. So I went to sleep.
I forgot it.
But I think it had something to do with an ice freezer. So I improvised and created several versions of Desperate Ice-olation. I also played with Desolate Ice-olation.
They pretty much mean the same thing.
When I was a kid and we used to go camping every summer for our vacation we'd always stop at this place early in the morning before we headed for the hills and buy a big block of ice. It's odd to think that places like that existed. It was a throwback to when people had actual ice boxes in their homes and had blocks of ice delivered regularly. This place was company that sold ice. But they had this vending machine set up at what I remembered was like a loading dock. You put your money in and a block of ice slid out. My dad would put it in our cooler and we were set for several days. We usually had to stop at a country store during our vacation to replenish the ice, too.
Funny how important ice was (is) in our lives.
The other design idea I had that popped into my head when I was trying to remember the one I forgot before I fell asleep was this riff on the "Karate Kid."
Ironically "Karate Kid" was revived in a current TV series "Cobra Kai" which kind of leads you to think Johnny Lawrence was okay and Daniel LaRusso (played by Ralph Macchio) was kind of a dick.
Regardless, I like my version of "Sweep the Leg." Everyone has broom for improvement.
