Rants from the Hill logoRants from the Hill are Michael Branch's monthly musings on life in rural Nevada. They are posted at the beginning of each month at www.hcn.org. You can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes, or through Feedburner if you use other podcast readers.

In April's Rantcast, also available in written form at our community blog, the Range, Mike mistakenly thinks a garden gnome is a good Mother's Day gift, and then creates an elaborate leprechaun trap with his two daughters.

If you like this podcast, you might also enjoy West of 100, our mid-month podcast covering nature and culture in the American West. Available via our RSS feed, and subscribe for free through iTunes.

If you are seeing this box appear multiple times, then something is not allowing the cookie to be stored properly. Browsers can be set to not allow cookies, and some people choose to disallow cookies for security reasons.

If you're sure this isn't the problem, then it could be related to how your browser has stored information from our site in previous visits. Browsers often "cache" images, text and other website content in order to make them appear faster if you ever go back. Sometimes the browser's cache can be corrupted or become outdated. The simplest fix for this is to try reloading the page. If that doesn't fix the problem, it may be necessary to clear your temporary items from your browser.
