²     Hello, there! I've got a little time right now to send you an e-mail. I'm actually between jobs right now. I'm taking a little break before I have to go back to work.

³     I'll bet you've heard of me before, especially if you live in North America. I'm a big storm. Actually, I'm a really, really big storm. When I'm at my biggest, I can cover hundreds and hundreds of miles with wind and rain! If that sounds pretty scary, you're right. I'm a pretty scary storm.
