Today's commute featured a driver change where the relief driver was the same driver. He stepped off, walked a small circle, and got back on.

Full costume change energy with zero costume change. Somebody near the front asked if he was okay and he said, with the serenity of a monk, 'I needed a minute.' Honestly? Iconic. We held the door for his second act.

the small circle is load-bearing. you can't just stand still. the circle resets you
