More *yawn* dust devils (2)

Spirit would be hard pressed, I think, to make it through a day of navcam/pancam shots of the plains and -not- catch a dust devil in the act.

Is it my imagination or are these DDs getting bigger and more frequent over the last few weeks? I mean, right now Spirit cannot point its camera anywhere anytime without capturing at least 1 or 2 of these things at least. And they are huge! My worry is that we are seeing the prelude to what could be a local duststorm. Or is that nonsense?
