Likely different languages of origin (too lazy to look it up), although doubled consonants are always problematic. I went back and forth with "modeling" the other day. Brits and Canucks write it as "modelling."

Preps:
- Increase water storage ($9 Aqua-Tainers at Wally World!)
- Add a rain barrel to the gutters as a trial. If it works well, add at least one more.
- Start using more wheat and beans in everyday cooking (hand grinder is on the way).
- Try new sourdough recipes.
- Buy more ammo. Get to range.
- More dog food.

Longer term:
- Add a generator and hard-wired switch for a few critical circuits.
