I remember getting the impression that "burlin" referred to Burlingame, the SF Peninsula city just north of San Mateo. My mailing address is there, though I live in San Mateo. I'm not sure now how I came by that idea. It may have been due to the shipping address on his auctions, or from some other source.

Ha ha! Here in northern New York State, with no other clues, we'd think of Burlington, VT
