Flowers in the Car

Some chapter in some Kurt Vonnegut novel is titled something like "When Cars Had Cut Glass Flower Vases".

When the so-called New Beetle (which like all true Bug lovers I despise almost as much as I do the post-1967 Super Beetle) came out, one of the few things I liked about it was that it had a bud vase.

The other day, Kathe spotted some interesting flowers growing by the roadside and wanted to take it home to show to me. She picked a sprig and laid it on the dashboard. She did show it to me, and the flowers sat on the dashboard for several days more, gradually drying out into a rather pretty image. The car smelled nicer, too.

Does anybody else do this? Or are we just being weird again?
