What a Guy! Awards

Something from Stateside

Welcome to the first annual ‘What a Guy!’ Online Award Presentation.   

Today's ‘What a Guy!’ award goes to that poor guy who was looking for his cell phone at the intersection puddle of Glisan and NW 21st.  (The puddle looked like it was 12 feet wide and 1 foot deep.)     In the pouring rain, he was putting his hands into yucking city water run-off digging for something in the mass pool. 
Throwing out debris as he went, maybe he was looking for a cell phone that had slipped out of his hands as he was waiting to cross the street.   

When I came around the block 5 minutes later I saw that the puddle had disappeared and there were piles of leaves around the perimeter of the crosswalk.   He hadn’t lost his cell phone!   He was unclogging the drain of leaves from the week-long Portland showers.    Here’s to you--Puddle Guy in front of the Underdog bar on 21st!     We salute you and endow honor on your very wet entity.
