What a ballet! A high-stakes ballet.

If one knows what's going on complex maneuvers such as that are a joy to watch. One expects it in team sports or small unit maneuvers. When they show up in unexpected places it's a serendipitous find.

Way back when, in a different life, I worked on a flat crew, pouring concrete for anything level - basements, sidewalks, driveways, decks. It was before pumps were common, and we laborers either wheeled the concrete and shoveled it behind the cement finishers.

It was a real ballet, the timing was exquisite, the moves made to make up for someone's mistakes or problems were a joy to see. And some of the dumbest, most ignorant people were the best at it.
