Robert; 
I love your posting! Don't imagine that I don't have failures too. Sometimes
I just cannot figure out why a particular species won't work (where it
should!) when it has before in other places. Same thing, flip side: I'll try
failures again in other places/ways, not give up on them the first time.

I myself do not get a "total plan" in my mind; it is much more a process of
developing a "skeleton" (to be metaphorical) of land shape and traffic
pattern, zones and sectors, and then working from that both logically and
intuitively.
