Unproductive

Sudden unexpected thunderstorm and power glitches. Steamy afternoon to follow. Soft tire on car in spite of having reinflated it just two days ago. Neighbors as noisy as a construction site with multiple large machines running, mowing over debris with loud explosive noises, other neighbors screaming and shouting at each other. Too many unpleasant distractions.

At least dinner turned out well. I took a short cut in a traditional family recipe for chicken baked with rice, but got away with it.
