If you hear loud gunfire noises emanating from across the bay at around lunchtime, worry not.
No one is shooting up a church and
Vallejo is a long way off.
What you may be hearing is a 21-gun salute -- it is President's Day --
by the Coast Guard on Alameda. If the shooting isn't coming from Alameda and it's not noon -- well, then, that's problematic.
