Did anyone notice the news articles on the front page of the newspaper that the old woman is reading in Judy's?? I found it very interesting. The main article was headlined something like "Odessa Invests Efforts in Alternative Energy" with a picture of windmills. I'm not sure what this could signify, but the importance of electricity seemed relevant. 

 

Also, a smaller article is title something regarding a fraudulent insurance claim. If the show was Cooper's dream, the prominence of electricity and Dougie's insurance company would make sense as elements from "real world" Odessa that he's incorporated into his dream. 

 

Another er thing I noticed which I'd like to post a picture of later is a tree and lamp post that together emulated the evolution of the arm. When Cooper drives away from the motel, the shot lingers on a lamppost with a single spherical bulb next to a bare tree that seems to have been trimmed at about the same level as the bulb. It's a stretch, but seeing this just before sleeping in the motel could be why the arm is depicted as it is in Cooper's dream.

The wind farms in Odessa, TX began to be built in 2008-09. The newspaper answers the question Cooper asks at the end: What year is this?

wow - I truly cannot explain where my head was when I dashed off that question earlier. Thanks for bringing me back to This reality - um, I think we share the same one. Thanks! whew - and as James M Sweeney points out, that answers the question "What year is this? wow Bob.

Check out my thread from earlier about the newspaper:

As rocksEM pointed out, the name of the newspaper changed when used in an Axe commercial, but the headings are the same...
