    I received a telescope worth about $100 from Amazon, with a note that it is a gift, from a person I do not recognize.

            I got a bottle of nitric oxide like that. Didn't even know what it was. Sometimes they'll do that and then write their own review of the product as a verified purchase.

                It does a lot of things, but mainly it dilates blood vessels. I had to research it while trying to figure out why TF I got this.

                      That's literally where my mind went. Except as an optimist I imagined a very beautiful woman as my benefactor. The first name is Kris, which could be either one.

                          I think I can return it for a gift card. So it's basically a free 100 dollars. I don't have the gumption to assemble it and use it. Plus I don't want to find a place to keep it.

                          If anybody knows who Kris L Edwards is, please let me know.

                              Kalus is a likely suspect.

                                I think it’s a coworker telling you that you need to upgrade your background game during zoom calls. He wants that “telescope in the background” sophisticated Frasier look.
