Aggie:
I'm not following Claire's nitpick about the bridge metaphor.
TinPenguin:
Yeah, isn't that the point of that saying anyway?

… at least she likes this one?

I may be only a little European with no concept of long distances but I checked a map and California is like, four times as far away as Nova Scotia. There's probably some easy public transport links up the Maine coastline, right? right?
Tova:
Also confused.

Yes, 100%.
Tova:
I'm a fan of saying, "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it."
oddtail:
Yeah, Claire's nitpick makes no sense to me.
The saying means "we'll deal with that issue when we're faced with that issue, we won't anticipate it or plan for it too obsessively in advance".
Claire's nitpicking is therefore paraphrased as "but isn't it impossible to deal with an issue before it comes up?". Like... yeah?
