But a little background info.

The Houston Astros play baseball in an air conditioned stadium. They were the first (I beleive) to do so, first with the Astrodome, then with Enron Field, which became Minute Maid field. It's bizarre - you're watching baseball, and you expect the sun shining on you, or to feel natural air, but its indoors and filled with AC.

As for the exits on highways, California highways have a habit of, 10 feet before the turn, suddenly veer right with "EXIT - THIS LANE ONLY!!!" and you have to suddenly cross 4 lanes and onto the offramp. You get used to this, and expect it - but the exits take you exactly where you want to go.

In Texas, however, all highways have a frontage road which follows the highway, and you exit and enter off these frontage roads. The roads are one way, so if you need a business on the Southbound frontage after travelling North, you have to do a U-turn and end up on the frontage going the other way.
