Nope. The closest thing is the Albuquerque channels (400 miles to the south) which will sometimes post Farmington news. But Farmington is still in New Mexico and about 50 miles south. I do not kid when I say we're isolated out here.

But the good news (I guess) is that Mrs. Slumlord/Lawyer has contacted her friends in high places and someone from Housing Solutions for the Southwest (HSSW) is coming out to look at my deceased furnace today. HSSW provides weatherization and heating assistance to low income residents of my county - and is paid for out of both Colorado State and county funding. Hopefully, I'll have a new furnace sometime next week.

And the lawyer and the slumlord will have defrauded Colorado taxpayers and given just that much more ammunition to those who say "everyone" who gets energy (and other) assistance doesn't really need it, so let's cut the programs.
