   It's interesting (or not...) how much this affects me in real life.   
      
   I spend a lot of time on the Grand Strand where you know "Going North   
   on US-17?  Ocean on right / Going South on US-17?  Ocean on left".   
      
   When I am on the Gulf Coast around Spring Hill and I get on US-19,   
   I often think of "going up to Tarpon Springs" or "down to Weeki   
   Wachee" since the ocean is on wrong side!
