That's sort of the impression one gets if they read "The Daily Coyote" (Shreve Stockton). I like that.

This entire state is a small town. Odds are pretty good that if someone is from here, you know them or you know someone who knows them.  Alex lived on the same dormitory floor as hiccup and I did our freshman year of college.  Oddly enough, his older brother lived on the same floor as us our sophomore year.  Odder still, mostly what I remember about his brother was that he was the drum major of the marching band and he could belch louder than anyone on the face of the earth.

Oh man, so you actually know him.......I'm so sorry. Yeah, there just are no words for that brand of tragedy.

yup, yup and yup.  I remember that Alex has an older brother that he was close to, so hopefully there's at least that.  I've tried to start a message to him on 3 times on facebook, but I just end up staring at the cursor blinking.  Jeez.

Yeah that's the definition of hell right there. I saw your comment on FB and I sure hope he's got some strong support.
