{raQ} makes me think of =E2=80=9Ccontact juggling=E2=80=9D, which is an =
art unto itself. I stink at contact juggling. I can sort of do it =
sloppily in slow motion.
The basic three balls in the air, I do fairly well, even when they are =
not of the same size or weight, and even if they are other ball-sized =
objects that aren=E2=80=99t really balls.
But {raQ} seems really =E2=80=9Chands on=E2=80=9D, which regular =
juggling is more =E2=80=9Cbriefly directed by hand contact=E2=80=9D.
