The fact that Pony admits to always losing track of time speaks to his aloof nature. Being late to dinner is an example of this forgetful part of his personality.]]> 2022-01-12 13:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/1u5uivxz70w67cpn/wish/1988160122 depeaua https://padlet.com/depeaua/1u5uivxz70w67cpn/wish/1988160123 "Soda, Steve and I had put on more hair oil than was necessary, but we wanted to show that we were greasers" (132).
