“O ye wha are sae guid yoursel’,

Our blunders become their burdens. But one thing is certain.

Day 89 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI: crosseyed and painless
The background image, when
.scaledToFill()as instructed, pushes the enclosing view wider than an iPhone SE (2nd gen) screen - which throws subsequent views off kilter.Lazy fix: remove that scaling modifier. /cc @twostraws
