Clashes leave 21 dead, including 15 police, say Chinese state media. The attack reportedly happens as police search some homes. But the Uyghur American Association says the lack of information makes details difficult to verify. Two men are later sentenced to death.

Home again in Kansas City, 2June

Our home, the Sophian Plaza condos, is the building under the arch of the tree, left of center,  That's Henry Moore's "Sheep Piece" on the right, looking west from the south lawn of the Nelson Gallery.  You can just see a bit of one of Claes Oldenberg's "Shuttlecocks" through the trees in the center.
That's 47th Street (Emmanuel Cleaver Blvd) on the left.

And the mail awaits us!
