Walking on Ice, Covered in Moss

I walked out the door this morning and promptly almost fell on my ass. Thin black ice was coating every surface, including and especially the surfaces used for walking. It's like we're skating out here, and all I can say is I'm thankful that Portland drivers don't seem to be particularly eager to score pedestrian points in the crosswalks, or I'd be toast.

Another thing I learned about Portland today while walking to breakfast in my cousin's super-cute neighborhood: It's covered in moss. I'm pretty sure the only things not covered in moss must move around. Like cars, well-used bicycles, and bus stop benches. Everything else - furry and green.
