The world is full of stories. When you stay at a hotel, in any city or country, it's safe to say that most people aren't from around there. When you take a few minutes to chat with your fellow travellers you find out some interesting things, some of which are surprisingly coincidental.
For example, my brother-in-law's brother Peter recently started working with a company doing restoration work for people who's houses have been damaged by water, fire, or some other disaster. Needless to say he's quite busy right now after the storm that we just had through the atlantic region.
In the parking lot of the hotel is a truck with the name BMS Catastrophe on the side. Could they be in the business of causing catastrophies? It turns out that BMS Catastrophe is one of the worlds largest restoration companies. They have had as many as 2000 employees working around the world re-building commercial, industrial, and residential properties damaged by every possible catastrophe (hence the name). They've worked on the Trade Towers after 911, Hurricane Katrina damaged buildings in both Louisiana and Florida, and even projects in the UK. The one thing that they have in common with Peter, thousands of miles away, is that they help people get their lives back. Putting a house back together after such a devastating experience is probably the best thing that you can do for someone. Imagine going to a job like that everyday?
