Lourdes Pacheco: The Uncertainty Load

A parish conference pays for one stranger's gravity survey and minutes that Lourdes recused. She commits to re-occupying her last two old series at her own cost and files the cost as a receipt. Fermín tells the Board that a remedy shouldn't depend on who knows a notary. Then Desert Mutual's actuary calls off the record: her zero default would put about four percent on every policy in the valley. Driving past the paid house on survey night, she watches a neighbour watch it.
