A figure in a green and blue traveling cloak is shown from the rear, seated at a desk gazing out an arched window at a carnival tent bathed in sunset light. The figure has short brown hair, and they are petting the ears of a dog sitting beside them. The dog's mouth is open in a happy doggy grin. An eldritch lamp decorates the desk, beside a binder labeled "DPS Orientation Guide." At the left stands a tall bookshelf filled with artifacts, books, and knickknacks. A bonsai tree sits on the windowsill, and a pair of sinister glowing eyes lurk in the shadows beneath the chair.

What if older adults were the ones who woke up one morning with amazing, uncanny superpowers, rather than teenagers?

What if so many people had powers that it wasn't even secret?

That's what life's been like in the world of Rough Passages since 1943, and the answers make for great stories.

Text on the left side reads: "ROUGH PASSAGES. Eight linked stories create a mosaic novel about life in a world where reaching middle age means potentially becoming a human fireball, drowning a city, or teleporting into space.
Some people embrace their new abilities, eager for the chance to start their lives over. Others lose everything they held dear. For them, the price of their new talent is too high to bear. They all face one inescapable truth:
POWER CHANGES EVERYTHING"

Book cover for Rough Passages, showing a woman with long fiery hair, wreathed in flames, dancing in the night sky against storm clouds over a city skyline. Author's name is K. M. Herkes. Book is available in ebook & paperback, links at books2read.com

#TIL the United States Fish & Wildlife Service maintains a searchable, public-access photographic Feather Database.

It's exactly as amazing as you might imagine. You can browse by family or species, and/or identify feathers you find lying about.

In related news, I came across a feather from a Northern Flicker on my lunchtime walk today.
