Something unique here:

This is a dust devil. They are common here in the desert. And they are super cool. Essentially, they are a mini-tornado of just dust and debris. I don't really understand how they work, but it's really neat to see them. Usually, I see them off in the distance of the desert plains, not up close. So it's difficult to describe their size. Not really monstrous like a tornado-but still stacked pretty high. I hear they aren't very fun to drive through.
We saw some this weekend when we were looking at houses. From up on a mountain, they are really neat to watch.
