Dahinden's Soft Spot

Of those of us who knew the late sasquatch searcher, Rene Dahinden, few would disagree that he was a bit of a grizzly individual. He was difficult to please, and very hard on both himself and other people.

He had an old cat that was just as ornery as he, and if you tried to touch it, you would not escape without a painful scratch. In spring, swallows returned and nested in the eves of the gun club buildings on the property where Rene resided. They also took on Rene's character, and attacked as soon as you approached. They attacked the cat at every opportunity, which leaped at them with a vengeance - but here Rene would step in and SWAT THE CAT for fighting back. Rene had a real soft spot for swallows. Below every nest they built, he installed a little perch.
