Just wondering how long it will be before oil companies or the government try to buy him off so this can't be mass produced. Sure would hit them in their wallets if it were made available to people.

Tom Jones is one of my best friends, and I think you should all know that he has already been approached to sell, and he said, "No Way"! This is about much much more than just money! Overseas companies have also tried to buy him out. He won't allow any other country to produce his invention. Of course he wants the world to benefit, but for him, it must start right here at home.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Aries

It won't be long before you start to feel bored today, unless you can distract yourself - you're switching from one activity to another. Ideally, you should keep yourself amused by doing something that's unusual or challenging, otherwise you'll be tempted to stir up trouble just to see what happens next! Even though you know that's a bad idea, you won't be able to resist, unless you've got something better to do with your time.
