Why doesn't Coop look at the receipt from the Valero station?

Was this future? Or was this past?

I am sure that I saw somewhere that if you compare the outside of the Palmer house where Sarah Palmer is to the outside when Cooper and Carrie go there, the plants and bushes are not as fully grown, which suggests Coop and Carrie went back in time.

They are different and smaller, maybe younger maybe just trimmed back. The landscaping is clearly a mess when Hawk visits Sarah in Season 3. It may indicate an earlier time or just meant to show it's not exactly the same house the way the Diner is mostly the same but no RR2go. Since Cooper passes some late model cars on his way through Odessa unless they go back in time as they are driving from Odessa to Twin Peaks I don't see how it can be more than a few years in the past, at most, when Carrie and Cooper visit the Palmer House and I have no idea what difference a few years could make.

Did anyone suspect Cooper was talking to Mike in the lodge when he asked the question?  He can find the lodge and interact at will basically...

Can he? I've actually been wondering that. As far as I can remember, we never see a hint of Lodge interaction once he becomes "Richard." Does Richard have the same direct line to the Lodge that Coop had, and/or can he use it here in this alternate reality? This might have nothing to do with anything, but I mentioned somewhere else that Richard seems to lack Coop's "spiritual" side - not sure that's the right word, but he doesn't seem to have that "Cooper magic," does he?

Plus, I'm not sure even Real-Real-Coop could contact the Lodge at will - it looked more like they would come to him.

In a way, it also seems too easy if the Lodge folks are available to Cooper any time he needs them. Would that last scene be so unsettling if we thought "Mike" and friends might cut in to help at any moment? I feel like that vibe depends on the sense that Coop is lost and on his own.

Although maybe a little too obvious also consider that the woman that opens the door at the end of Episode 18 at the old Palmer house is actually the real life owner of the house today, i.e. 2017. Although it spoils the theory of it being another time, maybe it is just...today but a reference to "reality" not dreaming?

 Maybe WE live in a dream, and Twin Peaks is real....?

Too me it seems to be present day but it is in a different dimension.  When Dale and Diane crossed over Diane seems to be aware of the change but Dale for some reason is confused about the change when he wakes up in the morning and yet he was the one who said to Diane before they went through that things might be different and yet it is Diane who realises things have changed and Dale hasn't.  It also seems to me that they didn't change identity until after they had had sex and then during the sex Diane realises that she as changed whereas Dale doesn't and so behaves strangely.  They were in the 1960s before the sex and then he wakes up in the present after the sex in the same dimension.  Whether this is Judy's doing or the Fireman's I have no idea.
