Too bad the rovers weren't equipped with a blower to

We long ago got our money's worth out of them.
We often say this but in reality we want them to go forever.
But don't think the dust is on the solar panels to stay. One of them,
quite a while back, had a sudden jump in SP output, later attributed
to a "dust devil" removing dust from the solar panels. This was
before NASA recognized active "dust devils" in rover images.
I say bring on the "dust devils."
