I woke up this morning, jumped in my boat and started throwing flies. The fish were on fire and I could not seem to avoid the bass. This is fitting as I am beginning to feel a little more optimistic about our country. And as always, I am feeling proud to be an American sportsman.

The economy is beginning to feel a little something. I cannot explain it, but I see some reason for optimism. I see "The New GM" and Ford Motor Company moving to the top. May and June are already showing spikes in car sales, a very good sign. I see a concern once again about taking care of our country. A brighter day is upon us. A brighter day for the Midwest and a brighter day for America!

While fishing, I caught and released almost a dozen bass. The sun was creeping its way over the cedar trees to the east. I realized it was time to leave for now and head to the office. I caught my fair share and let them go, so that it is preserved for the next fisherman.

It was a great day of fishing and I plan to carry it over into a positive day in business. If we all stay positive and true to America this Concerned Sportsman see's room for less concern, and that's a good thing!

Sincerely,

A Concerned Sportsman
