It has been a year of missing you. It will be a lifetime. Thinking of you and the times we had together.

While at the coast last weekend, we went on an excursion to the Neskowin Ghost Forest.

That day it was a foggy with columns of rising steam visible. I’m not sure if this is common there but it sure added to the spookiness of the name.

As in many parts of the Oregon coast there were rock formations of various sizes that dot the landscape and make it ever more interesting than just a sandy beach.

The winds changed on the coast here last night. It got cooler suddenly. This is the cool air coming to Portland by tonight. We drive back in a few hours bringing it with us. Hold on y’all!

We went exploring this rock formation on the beach near our Airbnb in Lincoln City, Oregon. It gets pretty much submerged during the high tide.

There are a lot of mussels! And anemones.

Some starfishes too…

And of course sea weed, crabs, seagulls, etc. all over the beach.

The weather has been interesting. Fog comes and goes on the beach. The coast is the warmest I’ve ever experienced, as there is a historic heat wave in the entire Pacific Northwest.

Hope friends in Portland are staying cool. As luck would have it, we picked this weekend to be on the coast for a family getaway a couple months ago. Returning tomorrow, so we’ll still get the tail end of this historic heat wave.

The new version features a new layout system for the main screen to better view your picked images. This layout scales to maximize your content for all screen sizes and orientations. As you can see in the comparison above, the same six photos are viewed with better detail in the new layout.

This version also features a new button on the main screen in the toolbar at the bottom. Toggling this fits or fills each image in the space available to it. The comparison above shows each state for six chosen photos of varying aspect ratios.

Also in this update is a new Tip Jar in the Settings screen. Mimi Uploader has always been offered at a one-time fixed price. The addition of new features and all upkeep is complimentary, so any tips to support that effort are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support! 😊

A new TestFlight beta of Mimi Uploader is out for testing with this Tip Jar. If things look good, I should be able to release a new version in a few days with the new layout and image display options, in addition to this.

This is my first Sailor pen. I got it as a present and have been pleasantly surprised at how nice it is to use and hold. I really wasn’t expecting this level of quality in this price range. I use it daily with my work notebook. 🖋
