Now another one in my own neck of the woods, relatively speaking. Roseburg is not that far south of Springfield where I live. It's one thing to read about it somewhere far away. But closer to home it hits harder. I know it shouldn't, but it does. Every tragedy should matter no matter how distant. It's just human nature to feel things stronger that are closer to home, I guess.
