    I've never had a Twitter account myself, but I used to read the occasional tweet, if people were linking to them in other stuff I was reading or what not.

    It always took an extra click, because I never gave them permission to run their javascript on my computer, so clicking a tweet link, I would get a page like "click to read this tweet in Legacy Twitter", and click that, and then see the tweet.

    But a few years ago they took that option away, so clicking any tweet link now only gets me a page saying I can't read it unless I want their javascript running on my box, which of course I don't, so I haven't even seen a tweet in a few years now and it's wonderful.

    Maybe some areas. We used to get Amazon deliveries same day sometimes. Even Sundays. Good times! Now that we are in boonies .... even if/when things get back to normal - it's doubtful to ever expect to come close to that performance again.

    I've noticed that for some items being delivered to dad's place, which is even more out in the boonies than your MT zone. Not that there are any Amazon facilities anywhere near you either.

    When some items are initially selected, with delivery still defaulting to my house (within bicycling distance of more Amazon warehouses and distribution hubs than I can count), it sometimes shows possible delivery times today, or tomorrow morning. But when the delivery address is switched to dad's place, the time window suddenly shifts out a week.
