Anyone can have an accidentally lazy moment. But some of these pics of ill-placed sales stickers are very funny.

So some New Yorkers get to the wine store to stock up on the important things before a hurricane.

And others make sure they protect their Land Rover from the elements.

Not sure who to feel worse for — the misguided owners, or Land Rover for having customers who think their SUVs must be sheltered from storms by a jury-rigged hair bonnet.

Parts of New York City are under evacuation orders, with more than 370,000 people ordered to leave low-lying areas as Hurricane Irene approaches the city. But on Saturday afternoon, at least, some residents were making the most of it.

NPR’s Jim Zarroli reports for All Things Considered that “Frankly Wines, a small shop just outside the evacuation zone, was doing a pretty brisk business today. Owner Christy Frank lives around the corner. Late August is normally a slow time, she says, but Irene has been great for business.

“We’ve been calling it the ‘hurricane stimulus package,'” Frank said. “It’s definitely been good for business. I have a number of other friends who own wine stores elsewhere in the city, and after yesterday, we were all just beat. It was like the day before Thanksgiving, or New Year’s Eve.”

These are my people.  Let’s get the important things taken care of.

Amen.

If you’ve spent any time in Times Square, you know “The Naked Cowboy” – who has become a kind of urban celebrity of sorts.  Thank goodness he’s playing it safe in advance of Hurricane Irene and donning a smart life preserver.  Just in case.
