Good afternoon, and welcome to class, Class.

Since I'm kind of tired today, and I still have a lot to do, we're just going to have a short 10-photo pop quiz to see how much you have learned this year.

I'm even going to make it easier for you.

We'll make it a simple true or false quiz so that you, too, can head on out to start your weekend a little early. Good luck.

Picture 1 - TRUE     FALSE     The plant creating an entrance arch is a bougainvillea (Entranceo archii bougainvillea), one of Professor Doctor Ray's favorites.

Picture 2 - TRUE     FALSE      The following picture is a Canon EOS Rebel XSi, Professor Doctor Ray's new toy, the reason why he is tired today but still has lots to do.

Picture 3 - TRUE     FALSE     The following is a picture of a cement truck, possibly taken while someone was driving back from a home inspection, which meant that he didn't have both hands on the steering wheel. Very dangerous.

Picture 4 - TRUE     FALSE     The following is a picture of an eel (Frys electronics eelii) in one of the huge, monster, gigantic aquariums at Fry's Electronics in Vista, California.

Picture 5 - TRUE     FALSE     The following is a picture of an alien spacecraft that Vegas Bob took while he was in Area 51 in Nevada.

Picture 6 - TRUE     FALSE     The following is a picture of an electric meter that the utility company said needed to have the vegetation cleared off of it within 30 days. The home owner also had the option of letting the utility company prune the vegetation for "just" $250.

Picture 7 - TRUE     FALSE     The following is a picture of the peace lily (Spathiphyllum peace-in-the-mallii), common to malls throughout the nation. Obviously the peace lily has no effect in malls since malls are anything but peaceful.

Picture 8 - TRUE     FALSE     The following is a picture of purple ice plant (Plantus purple iceii), common along San Diego freeways.

Picture 9 - TRUE     FALSE     The following is a picture of a darned steep roof, very uncommon for San Diego, California.

Picture 10 - TRUE     FALSE     The following is a picture of Zoey the Cool Cat's ear, taken with a Canon EOS Rebel XSi camera from about 25 feet away with a 300 mm lens.
