Population roughly 50,000. Right here in enid, they have the Third Largest Storage Capacity for grain on the planet. But wedged in between enids silos lies the tale of a cantankerous legend who left his grandchildren with a very strange inheritance. My name is stuart piontek, and in 2003, my brothers and sisters and i inherited something pretty unusual from my grandfather. His name was oliver jordan, and he died at 95. He was a child of the dust bowl. Grandpa would hold on to just about everything that passed through his life, whether it was a tin can, an automobile, a piece of copper wire. And oliver jordan kept it all here. For 60 years. This salvage lot was his home, his sanctuary, his fort knox. Hi, stuart welcome to paradise.

I think theres a time and a place for tariffs. Ive been critical of our nations trade policy for ages, for all the time ive been on cnbc, for all these years, our old policy
For many with 60s. Itll end up in the 70s on the highs today. Should be nice as well going right into the weekend but not as windy. All right. Sal is here at 7 00 on a friday. Still no, y light. You know, steve, somethingc you said has stuck with me all week. And people. What you said is people complain the most aboututhe wind. They do. Its been my experience. Yes, sir. And, youre right. I think a lot of people have been talking about the weather because of the wind. It does affect the commute sometimes. Lets take a look at highway 2t. That looks pretty good. It tends to get going if the winds tend to get going. Sometimes you have the small vehicles or the tractor trailers are a little bitumore cautious, driving a should. This is a look at the Richmond Bridge. You can see that at theutoll plaza it is light. As steve mentioned, sometimes on fridays we do get a much lighter commute. It looks like today is one of those days. Get back to the headlines, sal. Thank you. A group of People Liv
