Crap! Now I got to think of something.
While I'm stalling.... I'll offer the opinion that McCartney's "Live and Let Die" was the best Bond theme song ever. I guess that shouldn't be surprising considering his skill as a songwriter, now that I think about it.
Okay I belong to a Schipperke group, because we own one. For the first time this year, a Schip won Best in the Non-Sporting Group. However, it merely put in an appearance at the finals and had to be recused because the judge's partner and the owner of the Schipperke have had co-ownership of other dogs in the past. So...
Which breed won "Best in Show" at the recent Westminster Kennel Club competition? |

I saw it mentioned on the news. It was a Wire-Haired Terrier. |

Okay. I've seen that it is my turn. Now I'll have to think of something and verify it. |

The record for the most enemy submarines sunk by a single warship is 6, set during WWII.
Name either the ship, or it's designation |

I would assume it was German submarines that were being sunk in the North Atlantic. That means the ship that destroyed 6 submarines was either US, British or Canadian. The primary warship designed to attack submarines is the Destroyer but there were also Destroyer Escorts that went after the subs. I will guess it was a Destroyer Escort. |

It was the USS England, a Destroyer Escort. Surprisingly she was not operating against a German wolfpack, but a Japanese picket line. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/tiny-us-navy-warship-sank-the-most-submarines-history-19127

I'm pretty sure hockey is the winter sport, but I'll have to take a wild guess at the summer sport: lacrosse? |
