Slower mail service would be annoying, however, and would affect others, too. Especially those in the prison system.
"Sometimes I'm in jail," [the random subject] said. "And the people in there want to get their mail."
There it is ... my wife, her roommates, and people incarcerated. There is a grubby little town named Tornillo down the lower end of El Paso county. Someone once remarked that the place would have no post office at all were it not for all the mail going out to prisons. Maybe fifteen years ago there was a kid from Tornillo killed in some affray, gangish, I think. He left 19 siblings. Think of that ... his mama lost 5% of her children in one fell swoop. Funky little town, Tornillo.

I still snail mail, and, yes, send cards on all sorts of occasions.
There ARE still some people left who appreciate the elegance and intracacies of letter-writing, and firmly believe nothing will ever take the place of a heartfelt, well-thought out, handwritten letter.
As for prisoners, damn Palmigiano v. Travisono.....
