\section{Discussion}  The clear detection of Ca II H \& K absorption at +100 \kms km/s  in USNO-A0600-15865535, coincident with HI emission from Complex WD, indicates that the complex is closer than the star, at a distance 5.2 kpc. The column of Ca II measured is comparable between the cloud and the disk, even though they have wildly different HI columns. This is consistent with the weak \cite{Wakker_2000} or non-existent \cite{Bekhti_2012} correlation between HI and Ca II column density, which also explains the non-detection of the small intermediate velocity clouds along the line of sight at 60 \kms. km/s.  A distance of 5 kpc puts this part of the WD complex above the molecular ring, but with a significantly offset velocity.
