In todays paper, 2 NOV 2003, Knight Ridder News Service offered the article:
"Cape Cod Delights in Off Season"--by Ellen Creager--dateline Brewster, Mass.

Ms. Creager writes in one glaring paragraph:

"The Cape, 77 miles south of Boston, is where the Pilgrims dallied in 1620
before moving on to Plymouth Rock. Its where prickly descendants of Mayflower
folk still live, where sea captains and sailors drifted and settled, where
cranberries, Kennedys and 200 years of vacationers have created a mystique more
opaque than the morning fog."

Please! what means "prickly?"
