 The last supper at our house before moves.  Sister Stevens & Johnston and the old folks.  Elder Amundsen, Moyes and Mathews.  We lost Sister Stevens and Mathews.  We will miss them!

Russ!  (pronounced roos) happens every May for all high school seniors in Norway.  The month is filled pretty much with "anything goes" stuff, and the public and police ignore all but the worst.  It's a tradition that's probably been around forever.  Anyway, we're told they are given a list of things they can do throughout the month and when they accomplish each thing they check it off and receive a pin to put on a hat or something - kind of like receiving a merit badge  I guess.  Some things they do include driving around round-a-bouts in cars until they are dizzy and maybe throw up, eat dinner in the middle of a round-a-bout, kiss a cop, sit under a desk for an hour, stand against a tree for an hour, and sometimes they are even assigned to harass Mormon missionaries.  Of course, there is also lots of drinking and other naughty things; this isn't Provo Utah, after all.  In this clip you see kids leaning out of a van with a super soaker, spraying people on the street.  They often somehow find a red van and customize it with writing on the side.  Parties often go long into the night and early morning, week nights included.  Crazy!
