It is a really nasty day weather-wise. If it were 10 degrees colder, we would have a great deal of snow to contend with. As it is, it's just horizontal rain and sleet, and I need to drive the 18 miles to work soon. The weather sent me scurrying around the house looking for Blippable material and I found this old kitchen corkscrew which came from my mom's house in South Africa. It is made the old-fashioned way: the spirals are cut rather than bent around a form. In use, this tends to cut through the soft cork rather than forcing it out of the way and splitting the material before one has finished extracting it from the bottle's neck. The corkscrew, with its simple T handle needs lots of shoulder grease but I have never known it (in about 40 years of trying...) to split a cork, even very old and fragile ones.
