"Well, I guess you could say my grandpa was an OBC, an Original Bitter Clinger. The man thought bankers were crooks, doctors were quacks, and that the only things you could count on in life were God, family, and a shotgun."

Her grandfather sounds like me. He must have had good sense, which is rare these days.

PS I would have added "one's dog" to the list of things you can count on.
