My mental mapping generally is "scenario shopping" as I go about my daily tasks. I take a "possible" scenario that could occur where I am going, . . . walk through it, . . . make a plan.

I learned to do this as a member of a "damage control" team aboard a couple of destroyers in the Navy, . . . and at a PBR base in Viet Nam.

I was always amazed in the service how well those "scenarios" played out when one would come up. It usually had a different flavor than the original, but was close enough to the original that many of the previously thought thru steps were applicable to this problem.

I believe in mental mapping, . . .

May God bless,
Dwight
