I saw an FLL table being thrown away near the Saratoga Library (Saratoga Avenue exit off of Highway 85). It looks in good condition. If you are willing to drive by and grab it tonight leave a message and I’ll tell you how to find it. The large-item garbage pickup will be some time Monday or Tuesday so you need to be quick.

  Never mind. The garbage truck got it in the morning.
