Wow, who would've thought Moss Landing was such a hotbed of gun-happy violence! I'll bet some of these characters are interred in the old Moss Landing cemetery. Monterey County was the Wild West back in the 1920s-30s.

Great yarn well told, Joe. Brought to my mind the time probably 15-20 years ago when a boatload of Chinese immigrants showed up in Moss Landing harbor hoping not to be noticed.

Thanks for the many smiles. I love every sentence, but my favorite is: "Prohibition was the U.S. government’s paternalistic war on alcohol, back when America was great again."
