Great book. Learned the Gaelic roots of Whyos, Dead Rabbits
Plug-Uglies and Sucker. The book takes you on a tour
from Five Points to the Boston of Whitey Bulger.

Dead Rabbit: Dead Ráibéad ,Dead as an intensifier meaning “very” and Ráibéad in Gaelic was a galoot or big lug.

Whyo :Noble Few in Irish is Uathadh Uais, turned into “Whyo.”

Plug Uglies: Their name came from Bail Oglaigh, Member of Volunteers.

The Patsy Conroys. Their name came from Pairt sa Connradh, Partners in League.

Sucker: sách úr meaning “fresh well-fed fellow” or “fat cat” ready to be fleeced like a ripe Donegal Sheep.



Mumms.



Lots of peppers. Tonight's meal is Stuffed Peppers, made with
Red, Green,Yellow and Orange Peppers.



"Been selling for fifteen years and never heard
a bad word about this item."

Not much of a crowd. The market crowd
was thin today with Hanna coming.
P.E. & D.D. Seafood wasn't there.
Probably dealing with Hanna.



Not Squeezing is a big thing here.



Pepper Chart. The Scotch Bonnet is super-hot.



No Sun, but still lots of Sunflowers.







Randomness is an important part of
Cryptonomicon, so this is continuing
the concept.
