Best Action Figure Ever

Best. Action. Figure. Ever.

Last Friday evening the Mom was giving a talk in Iowa City, so I drove her up there. Iowa City is very cool, what with the sushi and the shopping, etc., but it has no parking. Seriously, there is one parking place for every ten zillion people. This was the only parking place I could find:

We decided to go see Star Wars. The show started at 6:45, and we planned to meet there at 6:40. Now if we didn't live in a teeny, tiny town we would never have gotten tickets. The tickets were no problem, but the sitting together in the rather crowded theatre was. So we watched the movie separately, and then went home. Now that's quality friend time!

There is a cute little farmer's market every Saturday. I took my camera and got some pictures:

Looks kind of like Mayberry doesn't it? I was about to take a picture of one of one of the Amish vendors, and then remembered something about Amish people not liking to have their pictures taken because it steals their soul or something, so I covertly took a picture of him from the back:
