Its a fricken park....Its their land and that was the stipulation. The NAACP would rather name it....Al Sharpton Park perhaps,,,the biggest racist around. The population of blacks in Auburn is few. And yes, they count. They dont have to partake in the activities the park may bring. Children dont care. I went to school in Sac. They changed the names of my schools I'd gone to 30 years ago. It went from a Latin name to Martin Luther King. Ya dont hear the Latin's whining or boycotting. I'm white and I DON'T care! It's a name. Its land is a potential park. Grow up!

Daily Horoscope for December 27

Libra

You're full of empathy and affection today, so it would be a shame not to spread it around. It's a marvellous day for a low-key get-together with some of the people you haven't seen during the past few days, because you'll enjoy having a good chat about what's been happening. Once your social duties are out of the way you'll love curling up on the sofa with a good book or a favourite film.
