"The Rookies" premiered on TV this day in 1972. It featured three
young police recruits -- Willis Gates, Terry Webster and Mike Danko.
While they were good at solving crimes, they would have had to stand on
each other's shoulders to solve the mystery of what was on the top shelf
of many kitchen cabinets in many homes. If this sounds familiar, and you
have trouble seeing what's in those high-up cabinets, here's help. From
deep within the Carey Brothers' vault of lofty images, we reflect upon
the easy answer. If you have trouble seeing what's on those topmost
shelves, just glue a self-stick mirror tile inside the top and on the
underside of the highest shelves. It will reflect and bring what's way
in back up to the front. Even if you're only five-foot-two, mirrors
above those high-up storage places will bring the deepest, darkest
corners into view. And that's the On The House tip for today.
