“Bats frighten me. It's time my enemies share my dread.” That was Bruce Wayne's answer to Alfred's question why he had chosen the bat as his symbol to fight crime. Well, I do not dread bats. I am rather fond of them. That is fortunate because I have my own private bat cave in the house. There are two utility alcoves at the front of my house. Both host bats, but the one on the east side of the house seems to offer what bats want most in a resting place. That is all it is. A resting place. They show up only in the night. Drinking from my pool and snatching dinner from the clouds of mosquitoes that plague this part of Barra de Navidad. They then hang out together during the night in that alcove. By the morning, they are gone. I have no idea where their home is, but I do know a lot of them permanently reside in a cave north of Melaque. Perhaps that is their voting address. That was true until last week. On Wednesday, Dora was in the process of retrieving
