Every little action has big consequences when the motor's over-revving.

I use to remember the great lake's names by the acronym HOMES.

HAMES just isn't the same.

Lake Ontario is okay.

One of the other lakes is definitely Superior though.


That's Erie - I was just thinking the same thing.

Maybe that mnemonic for the lakes should now be SHAME? Inquiring minds want to know...

Cheers,

“S” in SHAME could be Lake St. Clair between Erie and Huron ,, a “mini” Great Lake ;-)

I find this https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=996013146791629&set=a.453964894329793 kinda funny .... even better having been there and seeing what a small, out-of-the-way village Duck Bay is. [I suspect the self-deprecating element in what's known as F.N. humour plays a role as well.]    I've mentioned it previously, but the map shows it like it is .... the road just goes into the lake .... no warning signs, a small space to turn around [at least that's how it was when we toured there a couple of years back].   yes

Fwiw, this is what HAMES brings to mind for me:

There was a TV commercial in the Seventies, featuring one of Les Canadiens, perennial Stanley Cup champs at the time, with his Quebecois accent. He told us to, "Come to Dorion Suit, where there are no hassles!" Of course, "hassles" came out "assles", which sounds suspiciously like, well, you know. So they went back and shot it again, where he said, "Come to Dorion Suit, where there are no ... (pause) ... problems!" Big smile at the end. Of course, "problems" came out "problaim".
