Stumped

I almost forgot about this--last year when I first moved to Basel I had an encounter on the tram with a guy who tried to light the stump of his arm on fire. I didn't think much of it again until recently when I was in the Coop near my office and I saw the same guy! At least I think it was the same guy...I'd recognise that stump anywhere. Luckily, this time when I saw him we wasn't doing anything untoward to himself. Just goes to show what a small town this can be. (Or maybe how few amputees there are.)
