Wish he was still around. Hadn’t thought about him lately.

The Bull. I thought of him the other day when I watched a documentary about surfer Greg "Da Bull" Noll. Actually I didn't.

OK this is really weird because I have been thinking of him and Long Distance Runaround lately and cannot get them out of my head. The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie.

While he is famous for his exploits at sea, his single most important and impactful decision was one made in a hospital bed at Pearl. I'll always wonder if Midway would've gone sideways without Spruance getting command of Task Force 16. There were a lot of people ahead of him for that command and it was only Halsey's insistence with Nimitz that made it happen.
