land of puddles

I grew up on a hill in a small town. Grass Valley, despite the name, is neither a valley nor made of grass. It is in fact a bunch of hills so when it rained all the water rushed away. In Chico however everything is flat and when it rains it just puddles. So all the water pools in various spots all over Chico. So when it rains I get to go puddle jumping or better yet I get to rush through puddles at very high speeds in my car. Makes me laugh.
