Jerry: What a storm, huh?
Nick: Yeah, I have a smashed window and quite a lot of damage done to my yard.
Jerry: Yeah, but they're only material things. At least we're in one piece.
Nick: Yeah, thank God for that. But truthfully, I've had enough of these earthquakes. Sometimes I feel like moving.
Jerry: I know what you mean, but I've lived in FL my whole life.
Nick: That's the thing, I want to see more of the world.
Jerry: Maybe
Nick: Think of it, a place where you don't have to board up your house at least once per year :)
Jerry: A fantasy world :)
Nick: No, a reality. My brother lives in Chicago, and I am seriously thinking of selling this place and moving in with him for some time. Maybe I can even ask for a transfer at my work.
Jerry: Yeah, your company has many offices all over the world and Chicago's like their hub, isn't it?
Nick: Yeah, they have their HQ there. If I can get a transfer, I swear I'm selling my house and moving. Or at least rent it out.
Jerry: Well, I don't want to encourage you. Who else would I be able to hang out with? :)
Nick: <File_photo> Look at the damage done to my yard :-/
Jerry: Wow, mine's not that bad.
Nick: Well, the hurricane kind of veered west later on, so I think your area was spared the worst.
Jerry: Hmm...maybe. If you need any help fixing it up, I can help you out.
Nick: Yeah, that would be great. I was gonna call for some professional help, but then those companies are really expensive.
Jerry: Don't bother, they'll take a fortune. I have this weekend free, so you buy the beers and I can be there bright and early Sat.
Nick: Cool, hey thanks a lot, man.
Jerry: No problem. Do you want me to bring something to eat?
Nick: We can have burgers on the barbecue. I may have some in the freezer.
Jerry: Ok, just let me know if you need me to bring anything.
Nick: If you have some tools, that'd be great. 
Jerry: Yeah, I'll bring my electric saw.
Nick: Ok, great! See you Sat.
Jerry: No problem, take care.
The storm has damaged some of Nick's properties. Nick is considering moving from Florida to Chicago if he gets a transfer at his company. Nick and Jerry will meet on Saturday.
