I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

Badlands redux
I'm a long way from South Dakota, but Oxford is having a heat wave and I'm sitting in a stifling hotel room with a huge fan blasting hot air at me, and remembering the insane winds in hundred-degree temperatures in eastern South Dakota that I described as being in a “full-body blow dryer.”
I took the all-day flight instead of the all-night flight, which means I don't lose a night's sleep and walk around like a zombie for two days. Instead I'm sitting in a hot hotel room when it's after midnight local time and my body insists it's hours until bedtime.
