The Daily Chronicles of Chaos and Comedy Every day, as the sun peeks over the horizon, I find myself in the driver’s seat, ready to steer through a new chapter of life on the road. From the moment the bus doors swing open, the stories begin.  Morning Rush Madness     The early morning rush is a sight to behold. Picture this: Sleepy commuters shuffle aboard, their eyes half-open, clutching coffee cups like lifelines.
