We were returning from a summer in Manitoba long ago, early October I think it was. Parents decided to head east for the Great lakes rather than straight back to SoCal. '66 Ranchero with a 12 or 13' travel trailer in tow. We get to the Mackinac Bridge toll booth. "I'll send the bus for you. I want you to stay in the lane next to it on it's left side to keep the wind from blowing you off the bridge" says the toll booth operator

Used to cross that bridge about once a week and walked across it twice. They say is sways 7 feet during some winds.

I was operating the temporary manlift on
the big red tower there in the middle at SLC 6 at Vandenberg SFB while it was still under construction. One day a whole mess of USAF brass shows up "Take us to the top." Everybody gets in and off we go, no worries. At the top landing a lady Captain remains on the landing with a concerned look on her face
rest of the group was on their way down the stairwell to check things out. "Can I help you with something?" I asked. " I feel like this thing is moving. Is it just my imagination? Or is it really moving?" she replied. " Well if you fix your eyes on something stationary, you might see" I didn't get to finish. "Get me the hell out of here!" 
She got back in the manlift and I hit the down button -
