Charter News and My Thoughts on the Economy
I just can’t help but think that the economy can’t be as bad as the media has made us think it is. I was at the SHOT show (HUGE outdoor show) in Orlando on Friday and I just can’t believe that thousands of vendors could afford THOUSANDS of dollars for their booths if we were in any kind of deep recession. Then yesterday, Circuit City started their going out of business liquidation sale and there were hundreds of people lined up before the doors opened. If people were really struggling all that bad, would there be that many people lined up to buy a new flat screen TV????
I don’t know. Either we are in as bad a recession as they say and people are just dumb enough to keep spending money anyway or people are not as bad off as the media says.
I know it’s tough. That’s not the point. But is it a deep depression though like the media is hyping? I mean really… do you think our grandparents were lining up to by radios during the great depression? I don’t think so. I think most of them were trying to figure out how to split a pea 6 ways for dinner. But… that’s just my thoughts. Don’t let the media push us into self fulfilling prophecies.
In other news…. I’ve added my Boca Grande Tarpon Charters to the online reservation system on my website. If you’ve ever wanted to catch a tarpon, this is your year. Go to the online reservation page to book your trip now. Dates will fill up pretty quick by the beginning of April.
Also… everyone that is on my email list (past clients) that sends me a referral during 2009 will get a trophy frame from www.wildlifepins.com ($99 value) using an image that I took during their charter. Check your email box for details. If you take a charter with me this year and would like a trophy frame of your catch we’ll hook you up with one at my cost ($50).
See you soon!
