I woke up to my brother asking me where the car keys were and that was enough to annoy me right up until I fell asleep again. But Bagpipes? I would be punching a few people right in the..bagpipes!
Heh. Reminds me of one Saturday when I was in high school and Mom woke me up at about 7 to tell me she was going to take my car into town and get it gassed up and I was all like "Okay, whatever, more sleep now kthx" and she walked back in five minutes later and just said "The car's on fire."
There was some kinda short in the dash that was spitting smoke out everywhere, but it wasn't like the car was immolated or anything. The temperature gauge never worked again, the horn quit working until the day of her funeral about four years later, and occasionally, and I'm so not making this up, the odometer would start spinning in reverse about five times the actual rate.
Yup, my blessed little puppy. Were you ever on board for one of her odometer quirks? I know Minnich was, because I was all like, "Dude, see, I told you I'm not making this up."

I miss that car.

BTW, it's a county law, not a state one. You can play bagpipes starting at 7 in Sedgwick County and I think as early as 5:30 in McPherson.
