Short commute route lots of traffic on Christmas Eve

This ride was fantastic. I saw that there was all kinds of wind advisories for the day BUT I also noticed that the wind was going to be shifting literally the entire time I was riding. I was hoping it might end up being a full infinite tailwind loop. But here's how it turned out instead ... moderate head/crosswind turned into a tail/crosswind which continued to get stronger. As I made it farther east on the top part of the loop, the crosswind kept getting strong but my route also took a dip farther southeast so that it was back to a tail/crosswind. Then that bike southern dip on the far eastern side of the route was a nearly perfect tailwind at maybe 20+mph. The sunset as I turned back west and that seemed to make the wind die down ... but it picked back up as a strong tailwind as I headed south down into Columbia area. One final surprise was my bike navigation trying to take me back across the river through the zoo ... so I opted for the interstate instead. I went with I-20 and it had a super wide shoulder ... even on the bridge! It felt safer than many of the roads I had been on all day.
