People often take cues from their leaders.  If THEIR leader wears a mask, they tend to emulate that, and vice versa.

I think today not wearing a mask is at times a political statement.

So for those of you who have relocated from the north to the south, how many warm winter's will you get to enjoy before you become acclimated to the climate, and fall into agreement with the locals that fifty degrees is ski mask weather?
Been almost 20 years for me, and it hasn't happened yet.

For sure. But that is not the only factor.  There is evidence that younger v older, and other demographics is also impacting this.

Still contemplating but may DIY the fire pit. It doesn't look tremendously difficult and I'm worried the dogs will eat the ones on Amazon.

yeah I don’t think leaders have anything to do with mask wearing. I think some people just don’t give a shit. 

And I’d like to add that from what I’m seeing, there are more young people wearing the masks than old people in public. 

Last week I was down in Ft Lauderdale for lunch at a well known diner in that area called Lester’s, it was jam packed and mostly old people 60+, and literally maybe only 2 of them had masks. More than 90% of them didn’t even have masks with them, All the young people though- 90% at least had masks and the only time they took them off was to order or eat. 

Which blows my mind, because it’s the young people who aren’t affected by this. If they get coronavirus 99.999999% chance they’ll be asymptotic or have mild symptoms and brush it off. It’s the old farts who weren’t wearing the masks that would be in actual danger of dying from this thing.  

And Ft Lauderdale isn’t exactly Trump voters if you catch my drift. That city is populated and run by Dems.

I mean, obviously not to ski mask levels, but I feel like it usually takes about one winter or less to adapt. I know when I was in school, every time I went home it felt super drafty and chilly inside. That's because my parents house is old and not super insulated, but it never got cold enough to matter, while places in Wisconsin are well insulated and oft super heated.

Anyway, people's ability to adapt fast is kind of a marvel.

Anyone have a gas fire table? Like it? Tips? Recommendations?

We have one, really love it. Doesn't produce a lot of heat, but it doesn't need to here in Phoenix.

When we can no longer sit in our pool, we transfer to the fire pit. Turn it on, with a bottle of wine and just sit in the back yard and enjoy the beautiful desert winter weather.

This is what we have
