BMW the famous car used in James Bond movies, factories in the US and yes my friends are driving it, fully computerized, talking to the car like you talk to Alexa, addressing the car with its numerical identifier, let’s say “4711”.

There is news about one ton of cocaine seized in Spain, my other friends just returned from their vacation home in Spain and I go to visit them. We have more important things to talk about than what’s going on in Spain, he was scammed twice through WhatsApp and dating services, all together he lost €37.000,- That’s a lot of money, I said, enough to buy a RV and travel around.

We go to Globus, a German Supermarket chain, I love the place, it got remodeled, a modern cafeteria restaurant and a lot of variety in groceries and household products. I remember the place from the old days when I ate pork knuckle between door and hinge, as they say in German.

My friend NPB, is looking for a parking space on the Globus parking lot and rubs the side of a BMW slightly, barely noticable. At this distance, the outside mirrors touch, but they didn’t. I wait for my driver to say anything about a possible contact between the two vehicles, but he remains silent, so do I.

We enjoy a wonderful meal at Globus cafeteria while Susan Klatten appears on NTV, what was the message, I didn’t get it.

We head to the car, a little black scratch on the passenger side of the car, a scuff mark like your shoes leave on Laminat floor, no dent at all. The car needs to get cleaned, I think, it’s not kept really clean over all.

A police car is parked in the middle of the drive way of the Globus parking lot and four police officers are running around. A lot of effort, I think, what for? Don’t they have anything more important to do?

We drive home and get ready to clean the car, the windshields, the green moss around the door frame rubber seal.

The door bell rings and not even 5 minutes after we arrived, the police is in the back yard, providing evidence, that the cars did indeed touch. Photos of traces of paint are presented.

I offer my friend a testimony that it was not really noticeable, that the cars touched and he agrees. Why would I start an argument about his driving skills being a guest in his house for the Christmas Holidays?

Some time in January, the German chief inspector, D. H. contacts me per Email and requests my testimony. I changed my mind and I refuse to testify. Again she contacts me and states as a friend, I do not have the right to deny testimony. I reply, that I am an US citizen, residing in the United States and that I deny testimony.

This meticulousness strike me as odd, is this the same country that denies my rights for 6 years now over the dispute of €200.000,- with executor of a will, Exner, also ignoring the fact, that he has to provide yearly financial reporting?

Hm, Klatten lives in Hessen, the inheritance case was in Hessen, my German citizenship was pulled in Hessen, Schäfer died in Hessen, Hessen supposedly having more debt than Greece, all old news or hearsay.

Anyways, a lot of effort for a scratch on a BMW car.

So much about being in touch, singularity and each single car an identity in a hive. Even the queen bee connects, does she needs her legs waxed.

quote, singularity : a leadership development and innovation program that uses human connection through storytelling to overcome resistance to change. end quote.
