Hey,
Sleigh Bells

You never made out behind the bleachers, but the divebar couch the semester you turned 21 felt pretty close. The soundtrack of that night is lost to time, but you imagine it had "Rill Rill," a song your now-tweens will always associate with drives to soccer practice

On this Rose Parade eve-eve-eve, I have brought you a silly thing I have made.

This will randomly generate a list of Rose Parade floats, including the award it won, for what ("innovation in floral design"), who built the float, what it's of, and the flowers & natural materials needed to create it.
