Hi, Pals

I am flying back to my hometown today and coming back in early May, this is my last APAD post for the month, may MYSJ keeps prosperous, may the recession brakes, may the president sane, he was excited on Friday since he passed the cognitive test,  it seems a regular test, not sure every politician needs this test or only the old folks or only the presidents.

"When America sneezes, the world catches a cold"

I once thought MAGA was a false proposition,why an already great country needs to be great again? Does it imply that the country was once great but is not great now? like the solgan we had in China 振興中華?From the embarrassment of the trade war I understand now what MAGA really should be meant: re-industrialize America, is it too late?  So far MAGA coined by Mr. Trump is thought ironically by many as an incendiary nonsense. Now I leaned, in America it's really meant "In America, anybody can be president ". Enough for the discontent now, back on our APAD track. 

Dot your i’s and cross your t’s.

Be meticulous and thorough in your work. Pay attention to the details to ensure accuracy and completeness. 

The idiom suggests a strong emphasis on precision and attention to detail. It highlights the importance of finishing all necessary steps and checking for any errors. By "dotting your i's and crossing your t's," you are demonstrating a proactive approach to prevent mistakes and ensuring a high level of quality. The idiom is often used when a task is nearing completion, and it's time to make sure everything is perfect before it's officially finished.

Sometimes it is used to express your annoyance because such detailed work seems unnecessary and takes a very long time.
