Utah ugly mailboxes

Recently I had a trip to Utah. I rented a four wheel drive car, correspondingly I used four wheel drive roads. During my trip I visited many very small villages and towns. I was surprised when I've seen there a lot of ugly, old mailboxes. And I was questioning my self why theses people don't care about their mailboxes. Very often the mailbox is a face of the house. Why they don't want to buy new mailboxes, why they don't want to go to the internet and buy there beautiful novelty mailboxes. They can buy a cow mailbox or train mailbox or tractor mailbox or airplane mailbox. It is so easy to find a good decorative mailbox and such mailboxes not expensive.
