Watcher’s Council Nominations – Summer Madness Edition

An interesting week we’ve had! As a friend of mine puts it, tanning in the Apocalypse.
Welcome to the Watcher’s Council, a blogging group consisting of some of the most incisive blogs in the ‘sphere, and the longest running group of its kind in existence. Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council.Then we vote on the best two posts, with the results appearing on Friday.
This week’s contest is dedicated to Dymphna and The Baron at Gates of Vienna, because whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. And to an absolutely incredible young lady whom I’m very proud of, starting year 15 today. Happy Birthday!

Council News:
