PENGUIN DAY should be a day of celebration for DONNIE AND LINDA but they're pretty busy with water problems these days.  Didn't hear anything from Donne yesterday.  Hope he didn't fall in the SEPTIC TANK.

HE'S ALIVE: DONNIE REPORTS
"Today, plumbers install a new water softener system.  I really don't know what they are going to do or when they are going to do it.  All I know is that it costs a lot of money and, given my luck with home maintenance, the whole thing has me preoccupied."
