Great story from real life…reminder that truth is the mother of fiction.

Also reminder of what should be “Standard Operating Procedures” of any event planning or management situation in general.

That is; Plan B essentially needs to exist before Plan A…..not to mention Plans C, D, E, etc.

Contingency planning must be integral to management.

The “plan B” system that fell into place in this set of particular circumstances is truly amazing when you think of the various components were designed to faciltiate so many “plan B’s” by so very many “Plan B” designers. I think it also illustrates that the plan B’s are not a static plan but an always evolving plan based on new and revised circumstances. (For example: traffic volume, road speed limits, automobile design etc.)
The only thing that could have gone better is if there was someone available to process and deliver the venison to the guy that hit the deer (me).
