Delmarva Peninsula

The homecoming for E White, the man, the myth, the legend.

Rolling back in the, into the Delmarva region, right there in Philly, coming back home.

And, and we had been circling this game on the calendar for personal reasons.

You're a Philly guy, although you're covering the Panthers now.

Uh, and the Eastern Seaboard, you know, where, you know, you know, we see...

Let's say, think, think of the entire state of Delaware, for example, and the Delmarva Peninsula, um, sits at very low elevation.

Or Florida, right? All sits at very low elevation.

Uh, there's this invisible line along the, um, sort of runs, uh, sort of along the, and sort of on, on land, uh, but sort of runs along the East Coast of the United States called the fall line, and it's this area where all of a sudden there's, like, a fall in the land, um, where sort of that higher plateau of, of, that leads up to the Appalachian Mountains, uh, versus sort of that coastal area.

Atomic Country, the Virginia Piedmont, Maryland Horse Country, and later Middleburg all became important centers of mounted sport.

Delmarva became a proving ground.

Peninsula's flat fields, timber, ditches, wetlands, and cultivated land rewarded the hound that could puzzle out a cold line instead of merely running fast.

American country was generally more open and less neatly enclosed than much of England.

A fox might travel for miles through woods, marshes, creek bottoms, and crops.

So the result was not one rigid American foxhound.

It's a family of regional strains that are shaped by local ground.

The Penn Marydale preserved the older Delmarva virtues.

Um, we're in a prime real estate to power, uh, the, the data centers in this state with a nuclear reactor, and we would probably need two of them.

But we could probably supply power to the Delmarva area.

But that's a whole nother conversation, but of course Democrats won't do that.

The, the...

It could be your...

Yeah, it could be your area code, like Northern Virginia is NoVa, or I heard Delmarva.

Have y'all heard...

Do y'all know where Delmarva is?

Oh, yeah.

Yep.

Satellite radar composite.

There's those clear skies we've got right now, but if we zoom it out, we've got showers from the Delmarva Peninsula back into central Tennessee tonight.

Lots of rain down in parts of Alabama and Georgia.

This is going to work up into us as the front works through, and then we see the rain work in.

And there it is.

And, uh, I'm gonna be up there this weekend for WGMD, one of our glorious little affiliate stations up there, uh, that serves Delmarva, the whole area up there.

And I'm gonna be up there for a thing called Wings and Wheels, where they bring in, uh, classic airplanes and cars into the airport up there.

And it's gonna be spectacular.
