Trump said egg prices would go down.  They are up roughly 60% due to an avian influenza outbreak.  The layoff of health agency staff and department of agriculture staff has contributed substantially to the mishandling of this virus.  Just as he mishandled the covid 19 pandemic, he and his administration are fumbling again.

Last weekend we went to HK again to do some supply shopping for the trip.  I did not take any pictures for that day trip.
