Agreed. But it’s rare that the Oregon coast even gets a good frost, what with the ocean’s warming influence. With the short days, and moist weather, algae gets to growing on wood, and most aren’t on guard for slippery conditions as they would be, were they the everyday norm.

It’s often the case that things get growing pretty soon right after the winter solstice. around here. This happened a couple of weeks after that, I believe.

” most aren’t on guard for slippery conditions”
Exactly my point, walk more carefully, is the key phrase.
This litigious society, where people sue over slippery docks or bridges, is costing us hugely.
Courtrooms, lawyers, judges, staff, it’s a self perpetuating racket, and I’m dead set against it.
Free men do not depend upon fleecing other people for their livelihood.
Free men take responsibility for their actions.
In cases of genuine negligence, that’s a different thing altogether, but nature has variables, not negligence.
