On election night, I broke my wine opener.

In the process of opening a bottle of red, one of the arms fell off. I found the pieces scattered about on the floor and managed to hammer the broken arm back into place. Apparently, though, my hammering was over zealous, and now the arms don’t move in the same way.
If I didn’t live in a rural neighborhood I’d climb into my car and go in search of a new opener. But it’s dark and my night vision isn’t great, so I’ll have to make do with one bottle of wine tonight. Surely that will be enough. Oh the humanity!
It’s going to be a long night.
Peace, people.
My sympathies. Do you have any cooking wine in case it gets bad? It Is going to be a nail biter tonight. I’m a wreck. My state, Florida Is filled with too many idiots voting for the madman. 😾

I can’t possibly click on ‘like’ for this tragedy. My tv won’t go off today here in Australia.
We are so lucky in Oz, our bottles all have screw tops, yay!
Maybe one of these tips will help, if needed (to celebrate, I hope).

Just break the neck off the bottle, strain it through a fine mesh and guzzle it down. I don’t like your state very much tonight, but you need that wine big time!

You might need to find one of those bottle opening hacks if things get really desperate.
