💰 Financial (Pro?) Tip for US based folks: You can get a free credit report from the main bureaus via annualcreditreport.com. Once per year per bureau. I’ve been getting them regularly for years to review what creditors have on file. However I get a report from each of the three bureaus every four months. That way I have a little insight into my credit every four months and I can spread them out to once per year per bureau so they are always free. The site can feel a little clunky but it is a good resource IMHO.
Achievement Unlocked: Dust on iPhone 12 Pro 1x camera sensor 😭
Update (9th August, 2021): I took it in to the Apple store today after making an appointment at the Genius Bar. They took it in for an hour and repaired it. Not sure if they replaced the entire 1x camera module but the issue is gone 🎉

It’s nice when all the big dust particles come off of the camera sensor in one quick pass with a Giottos Rocket Air Blaster. 📷

I wish search engine query languages offered an operator that excludes shopping sites and services. Would be nice to not have to go past pages of search results for information on certain products.
It has been a year of missing you. It will be a lifetime. Thinking of you and the times we had together.
Neskowin Ghost Forest 📷
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!
A Walk on the Beach 📷
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.

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.
