Yeah, that's not cool. Have it serviced recently? Looks like a palm dent from someone shutting the hood by pushing on it.

We've got two dents on our Lexus now and both done by parking lot idiots.  I got a quote to get them fixed and it came to $1800.  Neither of them qualifies for a simple dent fix.  Part of the cost is for that expensive tri-coat pearl white paint.

It's been a while since last service and I'm pretty sure it wasn't there few days ago either. Looks like maybe someone put their weight on it to prevent a fall on the street or something.   We did have tons of snow couple days back.

Major explosion at the Irving Oil Refinery.  My wife has been evacuated and is safe thank god.  Rumours of lots of injuries, but nothing confirmed yet.  Just horrible.  :(

Same here.  My wife was called back to another part of the Refinery to act as a Scriber.  Not sure how I feel about that.

Saw a tweet from someone saying ambulances seen leaving the area with lights and siren on.  Regional Hospital has reportedly gone to Code Orange (possible mass casualty)  :(

Wow, I'm just seeing this now.  :o We were in Sussex most of the day but did hear the blast before we left this morning and figured it was just ordnance from CFB Gagetown. 

Glad your wife is ok Shane!  I've been doing, and still have some work to do at the refinery.  We were quite impressed with the level of safety controls and awareness when we went for our 4-hour safety orientation a few weeks ago.  They are in the middle of a shutdown in there right now, so lots of contractors onsite.   Hard to tell by the video if it happened in the area of the shutdown.

^  It happened on one of the active spots of the Refinery,  so it didn't happen in one of the shut down areas.  Wife got home about 30 mins ago, so good to have her home, and very happy that only a couple of minor injuries occurred.  Things could have been SOOO much worse.

Price for dogs  prescription
Our puppy probably needs Metacam long term
We got her a 10 ml bottle from the vet to see if she can handle it
It cost $35
On line it is $18.25 for the same bottle , you need a  prescription to order it
What are the  chances will get a prescription from the vet so we can order it online

Does your local Humane society have a vet on staff?
