I don't get much mails from the mailbox nowadays. Most of the things I need to know is transmitted via the net and all I do is to click to the relevant webpage, and voila! Magic! Even soccer results can be found on the net. I don't even need to get a copy of today's newspaper to read the headlines. How powerful the internet is and it helps to save the trees too! More mails, more trees to be cut down. Pity pity.

I don't see why mailboxes should be old and boring. They should be cheery and bright as they are seen as newsbearers, containers that determine our fate, our destiny (and our bills). heheh. It should present even the most undesirable mails in the most jovial way. Well, its more of a nice to have than a necessity. I see beautiful mailboxes as the simple joys of life.
