We’ve got whatever it is that’s going around, so we have to lie low today in our sick bed. However, some of our correspondents have alerted us to an MTA bus crash into Altadena Hardware this morning before 6 AM. Fortunately, it doesn’t appear that anyone was injured.
Here’s KCBS’s story (look for the picture of — well, the bus running into the building)
UPDATE 11 AM: We dragged ourselves out of our sick bed and took some pictures (below). Also ran into Lance Anderson, whose Altadena Junction is in the same building and was planning its grand opening this weekend — Lance says that there’s some fear that a main building support was taken out, so the opening will have to be postponed.
Here’s PSN’s story filed at 8:22 this morning. They say the bus was towed away, but we just drove by at 2 PM, the bus is still there, and it ain’t gonna move for awhile.

4PM Thurs. No one was hurt (6AM building was empty). Bus driver okay. No bus passengers. Awaiting building inspector certification re building safety. Front where bus entered has been shored up. Other shops appear not to be affected structurally but building inspector will need to determine this.

Dang, that 2nd pic has got to be one of the most disconcerting photos I’ve ever seen — looks like something you’d see on the Universal Tour.

Wonderful.
As if having noisy buses shaking my entire apartment as they go up and down El Molino isn’t enough, now they are out of control as well.
