I realize this may be hard to believe but the federal Family Medical Leave Act form is actually more confusing and filled with more worthless buraucratic doubletalk than the Alterantive Minimum Tax form.

Californians shouldn't complain about the Alternative Minimum Tax since it is largely a self-inflicted wound due to the high state and local taxes you voluntarily pay for the privilege of living in California. Californians love the Alternative Minimum Tax so much you have your own version. Of course Jerry Brown needs the money so he can keep paying all those prison guards.

Oh, don't get me wrong. The AMT is a 5 gallon bucket of fetid afterbirth but the FMLA form is like waterboarding for the Engrish language. Even worse, the potential penalties associated with ******* law itself are so bad that HR people now use the FMLA form every time an employee fakes a sore throat to take Friday off to go water skiing at the River.

The questions are recursive and some refer to sections 3 pages ahead that haven't been filled out yet. A newborn is a "serious disease". There are nested conditionality questions that would make a FORTRAN programmer grow faint. You can't say what the problem is (because of confidentiality) but you have to say what treatments will be required and how often in 8 different spots.

I am so tired of the ******* things I now write things like "drop dead" or "ask Svengali" or "beats me". Sometimes an HR functionary will fax back something that says, "Please complete section 8b on frequency of ancillary care for family member of employee". I write back, "Yes" or "2^^4/3 per month". It's probably some poor lady just trying to do what her boss told her but it's like arguing with the ref in the NBA. You do it so they leave you alone the NEXT time.



I was filling one out yesterday for the father of a newborn. He wanted to take a few weeks off and didn't understand the form (go figure) but had to answer what care he would give for the "serious medical condition of the family member".

I wrote in for him "change ****ty diapers". He thought it the funniest damn thing he ever saw. He couldn't wait to turn it in to HR. The mom spoke zero Engrish and thought we were both crazy.

My recollection is nobody asked for my permission on the AMT or on the 10% marginal tax rate in California.

I tried to fight the Franchise Tax Board once. I even had my own "ombudswoman". Unfortunately for me, the ombudswoman sounded just like my "case specialist" on the phone. They kicked my ass, the *******.

You are completely correct about the prison guards union. They and the teacher's unions literally run California government now.

The next target is Okinawa (Naha) with potential simultaneous landing at Kume-Jima and Daito Shato. These are the first places with Japanese-sounding names so there will probably be some Japs there. At least that is what they say in Washington.

Massachusetts and North Carolina will be ready in about 17d. We would have Wasp (without the April '43 AAA upgrade) and Yorktown and Long Island but no other CVE's ready. Washington is also active. Colorado would be available for bombardment duties in theater by then. Maybe Maryland too.

One problem is I'm not sure if we will have Aparri by then. Altimonan could stage the older model B-24 for a raid on Naha at extreme range. Vigan could host B-24D1/D but is still level 3.

We also have zero intel on Naha and it is a fairly obvious route to the home islands.

When the water is running it springs to life with herons and water fowl and fish and insects in days. Amazing how fast the transition is. Then, when they turn the water off, it turns into a brown fire hazard and hobo convention in about 2 days so they spray it with Agent Orange about 4 times a year and bulldoze everything.

What the county doesn't know is Hmong families wade out there when the water is running and pick wild water chestnuts. I tend not to order anything with water chestnuts in restaurants around here.

Ideas:

1) Pound the Hell out them next turn with a ground attack at 7-8K feet with the heavies in daylight.

2) Drive off whatever they have there. Maybe Kalk could detach from the transports and head back in ahead of the transports.

3) Load up LSI(L) Empire Battleaxe with supplies in amphib mode and send her in. I think she could unload in one turn. Either that or send in her in with more infantry. I doubt she could hold a full brigade, maybe a Bn equivalent?

4) Do we have a CA that could do a night bombardment?

Having similar recollections about California taxes is one of the reasons I had to leave for the opportunity to work in Las Vegas. Sacramento is just too dangerous a laboratory of democracy.

I'm convinced every FTB employee is a rogue agent out to enforce their own interpretation of the law. Back in 1989 I had a client who sold a resort it had developed, in Hawaii, for a substantial gain. Due to vagaries in the way California and Hawaii defined business income we took the position that the client was not liable for tax on the gain to either state. The FTB agent who was auditing the client refused to accept that such an "unfair" outcome was intended or desirable. Therefore, she attempted to assess California income tax on non-business income wholly allocable to Hawaii. It took almost 3 years before the FTB gave up on the issue. Still the professional fees the client paid were but a fraction of the tax California sought.

When I first saw "impervious cover tax", I thought they meant the latex variety.
I was pretty impressed with your sister ringing up $15 a month until you mentioned the ground!

Well, perhaps rather than part of a brigade we send in parts from the brigade (wings and thighs) and some Barbecue sauce.

Miyako-jima is a little rock halfway between Batan Is and Okinawa that can be built up to an airfield to protect shipping between the PI and Okinawa. Really, 5th and 7th Marine should be pulled out of line and 1st Marine Div reformed but I think the line at Manira would be too weak. Can't have JJ breaking loose and have 2 Mongol Hordes on Luzon.

MacArthur, SWPAC, will be ready in about 17 d. He is waiting for some waders from the Cabelos catalogue. He isn't really in charge of anything, it's just that SWPAC has 120 naval support.

Yes. It's a rough hex with a level 4 airfield and a level 3 in an adjoining hex. Plus there are the airfields on Formosa and Kyushu.

We can't go with 4 regiments if there is a division there or even an experienced regiment behind forts. Now, if JJ threw "everything they had" to try to stop us in the PI, they might have shorted Naha. Also, we can wait for 32nd ID and 37th ID. That will be a bit more intimidating force. If it is a bastion, we take Daito Shato, Kume-jima and Myako-jima and bomb the living crap out of Okinawa.

As for the staff flunkies, the main error is getting the components of 1st Marine Div stuck in the defensive line at Manira. Still, Manira was worth the effort if it could be gotten easily (which it cannot). The second error is no armor for Okinawa. The stupid flunkies threw everything in at Manira and Northern Luzon.

Sounds like reasonable logic .. I buy it .. I might bomb Oki in preparation anyway .. not so much for casualties but disruption which is not accounted for in combat reports. Disrupted units take a couple of days to recover and constant bombardment from the sky/sea keeps the forces disrupted ..then supply and admin allow smaller forces to overwhelm the AV plus of forts/defense .. In my limited view of the the enemy not being supplied and being disrupted while the good guys are not disrupted and are well supplied is as important as the initial AV force calculations ... The lack of armor is critical I think in stacking limit games where the density of firepower/AV is key to success in my opinion ...

I am making the comment here only that he can start concentrating forces due to the diminishing things there are left to defend ...

Maj. Flun Kyi: So solly generau, my orders must not have come to your attention. Gen. Chiang Kai-Chek ordered me to write them and send them to you.

Lieutenant General Walter Krueger, Commander, Sixth Army: Chiang Kai-Chek ordered it? Why would he think I needed a Chinese staff officer?

Maj. Flun Kyi: I not know generau! He carr me into his office ... I think he going brame me for disaster at Lanchow, but when I come in office he get message that Generau Stillwell is assigned to command in China. He look very angry for a moment, but then he look at me and smire, and order me to report to 6th Army HQ.

Lieutenant General Walter Krueger, Commander, Sixth Army: Well, when did all this happen?

Maj. Flun Kyi: I very fortunate and find Gen. Chiang arrange aircraft to fly me right away and drop me by parachute. I get here just in time to work on invasion of Phirippines. I have been issuing orders for months!
