Seeking help from the DMF braintrust:

I received a Russian newspaper today in the mail ("V Novom Svete" -- you can google it).  I am not Russian.  None of my ancestors were Russian.  I did not order the paper.  I've never ordered anything Russian, any newspaper, or anything that I can logically connect with it.  I figured it was just standard junk mail.

But here's the thing: the paper was in plastic wrap and had my name (correctly spelled) and address on it.  Not "Resident" or something like that.  So I google the return address: 3753 East County Line, Rigby, Idaho, 83442.  What comes up?  Klim headquarters (see here).

Now, while I never ordered anything directly from Klim I did buy a Klim jacket from Revzilla, and I'm pretty sure they drop ship some of their merchandise (or rather, the manufacturer drop ships).  Revzilla is headquartered in Philadelphia (see here).  V Novom Svete is headquartered in NYC (see here).

So why is Klim sending me newspapers of a Russian media company based in NY?

Also, if I meet this guy at a bar this week, I'm packing my stuff and skipping town immediately.

Uh, yeah.  In fact, perhaps having a 'go-bag' right now isn't a bad idea...

Call Klim and ask them?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
