Our neighbors, the Lau family, invited us to their family's fish farm. It produces organic-vegetarian fish, primarily tilapia. The story behind the farm made the visit an all-around amazing experience. After eight bouts of cancer, surviving each with a stronger sense of purpose, he started this farm. It's a true work of science. It cost nothing to run, except electricity for the pump. The labor involved is 15 minutes a day to drain and refill tanks! He shared a few of his secrets with us. Amazing! Since it's protein sources third world countries lack, the goal is to offer this technology and expertise to those that would use it for good. All this talk of helping the world lead to some great conversation about the problems with our world, religion and faith, human nature, and evil. What a man. We also ended our trip with some amazing fish prepared by ST's mom. My freezer is now full of the fish my boys caught! I prepared the first one last night...head, eyes, tail and all! Tonight I get a lesson in how to fully clean a fish. I hope my parents are proud!
