Tom, on the left, brought some special treats to dial up the radiant heat. I will put together some video clips, but let me just say that the slag in the fire pit was still too hot to handle the following evening…

Tonight we give the platinum Frisbee award to Robin Li.

  2. Well, I can tell you one thing the SEALS know how to party and they are quite amazing in action.

  3. Great weather, only in CA in November:)

  4. You had asked about music preferred by US Special Forces before entering battle. This is the preferred listening before dropping into the zone.
