Linear Thinking Part 1

Linear Thinking Part 1

Is the glass half full or is the glass half empty?
The answer doesn't take much thinking.
Are you pouring or are you drinking?

Linear Thinking Part 1 is one of my rhymes that never made it into limerick form.   The glass half empty or half full question never made much sense to me with my engineer's brain.  

I was accused of linear thinking when I tried to explain engineering problem solving methods in a journalism class that I once took as an elective . That is where this title came from.  Do not hold your breath for part 2 dear reader.  It has not been written yet.
