Isn't that What Ice Cream is For?

What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness."

Isn't that What Ice Cream is For?

What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness."
— John Steinbeck (1902-1968)

The weedrblo reference is an inside joke, which I will explain later in this article. The titled responsion is "Isn't that What Ice Cream is For?" is a simple response to the contrasts that define what makes summer so appealing. The parallel is in human nature — five minutes in one position starts to feel like torture.

In terms of weed, blow and the letter that binds them, weedrblow is something that I came up with when I was in Costa Rica. Picture a dude trying to sell you something, he shows you watches for sale like a good beach vendor would do but he asks you weed? or blow?

What's weedrblo? I ask after the encounter. That's right, I had no desire to waste his time, test his patience or belittle his chosen profession with such a dumb question. He might think I am making fun of him and oh how the tides could turn in this beach town on the Pacific coast.

Well, since then it's been a topic of conversation, a memory about a memory. It's kinda cool how they build on each other.
