Hi Uncle Dave,
Something happened on the weekend that got me wondering.
Dave, when is the best time to realise you should not run over a duckling on the road?
a. When you see the duckling?
b. After you’ve skittled the duckling?
c. Ten years later at a black tie function when people are swapping duckling stories?
d. Twenty years later when Jack Tame interviews you about it?

Hello Great Uncle,
Ancient Chinese wisdom says the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
Uncle Dave
Thanks Dave, I think.
So you're saying the best answer is before you see it. But also, better late than never is a bit better than nothing and could be possibly mildly helpful in instructing other people who are a clear and present danger to ducklings?
