Do you still write, and send snail mail?

I have a really good friend that I write to every month. We've been writing for 20 years. Every month I get his mail, from the mailbox, open it, read it, laugh, cry and sometimes snicker.
Then I sit at my computer.
Compose a letter to him and put it in an envelope and mail it.
Do you still on occasion write physical letters to people?

@CarolDM he used to make us read the letters, he wouldn't tell us what was in them until they arrived!

I don't remember the last time that I had used the postal mail.

@DocAndersen the government had sold the post office to a private company before the digital age. I wonder how the company is coping.

@DocAndersen So true, I sometimes send a written card (or letter) if I want to send a personal gift by mail.
