But, as I spend today going through the audio file from the interview (and there will be video later on) I wanted to share two quotes that really hit me hard in the solar plexus.  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When they [his grandkids] turn 12, I give them three things and a note. The three things are: a compass, a bible, and a shotgun. And I tell them in the note, if you learn to use all three, and it has to be all three, you\u2019ll never be lost, you\u2019ll never be hungry, and you need fear nothing.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you can\u2019t enjoy what you\u2019re doing; if you\u2019re not taking pleasure in what you\u2019re doing; if you\u2019re not in some way enthusing someone else about what they could do; you\u2019re kind of wasting God\u2019s good air I think. Hopefully I\u2019ve been able to do that over the years.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Anyway, I owed you guys a post since I have been out.  But I loved those quotes and wanted to share them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spent yesterday with Ollie North, and as with every other time I spent time with him, &hellip; <a title=\"Interviewing Ollie\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=34913\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Interviewing Ollie<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34913\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
