I am in complete agreement with you about dining outdoors. It's fine for a summer potluck by the pool, or a quick burger at the drive-in burger joint, but if given a choice, I'll always take indoors. Insects suck too, but the minute the breeze carries my napkin off the table, I'm pissed. As far as carry out goes, fast food or pizza is OK, but we never once had regular restaurant food to go during any part of the lockdown. We never do at any time. **We did eat out many times under tents which were kind of like dining indoors- no wind, and that was tolerable, barely.
I know SF was especially strict. Good for you for going to Vegas instead of just hibernating.
