a brave new venture

For those of you in the DC area, my chum Chris Huhn has decided to try launching a new hobby store in the northern Virginia suburbs. It's going to be called Huzzah Hobbies, and it will be located in University Center in Ashburn, VA, at the intersection of Route 28, Route 7, and the Loudoun County Parkway.

My understanding is that he's aiming for a September 1st opening. I'll post again with more news when I get it, but Chris is a fine chap and I'm sure will run an excellent store. I'd urge people to check it out once he opens the doors.

Fresh Air today had a useful and interesting interview that attempted to explain how it is that deep-water oil and gas drilling works and what may have gone wrong on the Deepwater Horizon.
