What is "pacheco"

Usage examples of "pacheco".

A slow-pitch softball league operating in Chamisa County included two teams from Milagro: the Saints, who were made up largely of players from the town, including Charley Bloom, Rlhi Archuleta, Johnny Pacheco, Jimmy Ortega, Benny Maestas, Claudio Garcia, and Joe Mondragon, and the Angels, who were largely a Devine conglomerate, and for whom Horse-thief Shorty, Nick Rael, BernabS Montoya, and Harlan Betchel and his anemic seventeen-year-old son, Albie, played.

Not much bigger than a golf ball, and with feathers only beginning to sprout from its tiny pink body, the baby bird certainly had no tomorrow in the middle of the road, let alone in life, and so the sensible thing for Pacheco to do was step on it, putting it out much as he extinguished his cigarette butts.

At the time, pending further development of Bloom's career--which up until the Pacheco trial had been orderly and quiet--it was decided that nothing should be done, no pressures brought to bear on Bloom or on his practice, such as it was, by the Bar Association.

When we got to San Luis an aide to Pacheco decided we weren't being too useful as spies, so we got assigned to a hospital detail, and stayed there while others went on south with Santa Anna to get blown apart at Cerro Gordo and Chapultepec.

The glass had barely tinkled to rest around their feet when Harlan Betchel, Nick Rael, Ray Gusdorf, Bernabe Montoya, Betty Apodaca, Carl Abeyta and Floyd Cowlie, and Sparky Pacheco and Tobias Mon-dragon careened into the bar to see who was getting laid out.

Occasionally, Pacheco came over to the Chateau Martinez, not under the pretext of looking for his sow (because how could his sow transcend that airtight picket fence neatly surrounding Onofre's property?

Then maybe Pacheco will go and kick Onofre Martinez in the butt, and to get back at him Onofre will charge Ray Gus-dorf three times what he should charge him for a load of wood, and in retaliation Ray Gusdorf will tell Pete Apodaca to take his cows out of Ray's field, and Pete Apodaca will give his wife Betty a black eye or a broken arm in payment for that, and meanwhile Floyd Cowlie and Carl Abeyta will be rolling around on the Floresta office floor laughing about what a lot of dumbbells we all are.

They were batting around an open charge of murder, but, you know how it is, that Pacheco won't die.

Herbie carried a knapsack on his back, and after he had shuffled obsequiously past Pacheco with his arm upraised to avoid the flurry of pebbles from Mercedes Rael, he ferreted nervously among Nick's wares, loading up on corned beef hash, bean dip, potato chips, powdered milk, and the like, all of which he would lug home in the mildewed knapsack.

Pacheco reminisced, abruptly heaving to his feet and slouching over to the sweet peas, where the pig grunted and grudgingly moved over slightly to make room for its master.
