Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Why did the chicken cross the road? The surprise question was posed by my early morning Uber driver. She’d just told me she loved to make passengers laugh “cuz you never know what people are dealing with, but laughing is good for everybody.” At 6 a.m., I didn’t really care why this particular chicken crossed the road. Or, for that matter, the stranger at the wheel’s thoughts on positivity. But poor timing aside, she was definitely on to something.
