Man, this looks an awful lot like a dust devil in the distance. What do you think?

I agree with Bob. There may be some seasonality to their occurence, but I think we're seeing more of them now because (1) we're looking for them against a darker background, and (2) we're looking for them more frequently! Wasn't there evidence that a DD had recently passed through one of the craters that Spirit visited between Bonneville and reaching West Spur?
