Are these dark lines the shadows from the clouds?

I thought I was seeing things. They appeared to end somewhere on the ground in the distance. 5:50pm at Tybee Island, Georgia, USA. Sun has about 2 hours until it sets.

This is made from nylon strap material. It has a large Velcro section on the left side that connects to itself. What is it used for?

Strap to mystery object- velcro to loop around something and partially elastic

What is this thing!? Noticed about 30 of these hanging around outside in a small area just like this.

This short green angled sheet metal type things along the dividers on the highway

Half black tube found in many areas of Aroostook Maine, usually near areas with water.

Side nearest the road has a hinged flap. In this case it is part of an old sign. Other side is open.

Solid metal, very heavy about 5 pounds, 12 inches tall

Moved into our house last year and found a pair of these in the garage. It is very heavy, about 5-10 pounds each. Solid metal, not welded in any way. About 12 inches tall.

I believe this clip goes on some part of a 2004 f150, but where?

Lu would like your suggestions on escape free harnesses please! We've tried Voyager and the Gooby escape free sport, and he successfully backs out of both. He's got a broad chest, similar to a pug\boston\frenchie build. Hit me with your faves please!!! Links are appreciated too 😃

My dog has a cut on his eye

My dog scratches his face a lot and his nails are way overdue being cut (he’s getting them done next week). I can’t take my eye off him without him scratching and I don’t doubt he does it when he’s home alone. I don’t know how to get him to stop scratching or how to help his eye.

New dog keeps scavenging when we leave

We’ve had him for about 3 weeks, he is extremely loving and patient with our little kids. He also listens to commands well. However he seems to have separation anxiety, and copes with it by scavenging everything. We have left him on our main floor while sleeping with a gate up. A couple times he has knocked over the gate and whined at our door. Then sometimes when we come down in the morning there is a loaf of bread half eaten. More recently we left for 1 hour(!) for a soccer game, and he chewed up a dirty diaper. He gets PLENTY of attention when we are here, and I work from home so that is 95% of the time. I am thinking a crate will be necessary while we are gone, and possibly at night (though Im worried about whining/barking while we sleep). I understand we just need to keep food put away, but I am wondering more about why the separation anxiety and how to address that directly?
