And today (well, the 13-years-ago version), Columbia broke up over Texas and Louisiana. I don't frankly remember where I was when I heard about it. I know I was living in Pennsylvania, 12 miles north of Pittsburgh. But somehow, between Challenger and that day, I became a somewhat calloused adult. Columbia didn't affect me quite as much. I do remember having some 80's song stuck in my head that day, but I haven't heard it since. It remains on the tip of my tongue.
