Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

I should let Elliot answer but I can help.  Pig's Eye was the original name for St Paul, MN, named after an island in the Mississippi inhabited by a local character named Pig's Eye Jackson.  (Hope I got the last name correct!)  We even have a local brand of beer called Pig's Eye to commemorate him.

When the Catholic Church decided to build its Cathedral of St Paul here the name Pig's Eye was thought to be too colloquial and a "more suitable" name was applied.

I'm not a native Minnesotan although I've lived here almost half my life.  I've probably condensed and interpreted a little of the above so I'm hoping Elliot will correct or clarify where necessary.
