Before the date in September arrives, call the Fremont County Circuit Court ） listed on the ticket （ Citation ）, explain that you must return to Japan （ because you are a traveler ）, and ask how to pay the fine.
Since this traffic ticket is not a standard speeding violation but rather “Reckless Driving （” ）—a criminal misdemeanor （ ）— I do not believe online payments via the court portal （ (such as the Wyoming Judicial Branch Payments system) are available.
If you’re told you must appear in court or if the fine is substantial, you should consider hiring a Wyoming traffic attorney （ Traffic Attorney ） to appear on your behalf.

Thank you for your valuable advice.
Thinking that might be the case, I did a search and found a website called the Internet Crime Complaint Center, run by the FBI, so I’ll file a report there.

I’ve been bored lately, so I’ve been answering calls from strangers on my cell phone, but there are so many scams.

Someone claiming to be from Citi Bank asked if I had authorized some suspicious account activity. I checked my credit card statement on my computer and saw nothing unusual, so I hung up.

I received a call from US Bank $ asking if I’d bought a firearm for 9,000, and I told them to “go to hell.” When I looked up the phone number, it was listed as US Bank, but it was also listed as a number used by scammers. There was even a fake US Bank website linked to this scam number.

I also got a call from Bank of America about suspicious activity, but I happened to have my son take the call, and he yelled, “What do you want? Get to the point—what do you want?”

Here’s a follow-up.
Immediately after realizing I’d been scammed, I called CITIBANK to explain the situation, and the $420 that had been fraudulently taken via Zelle was placed under dispute.
After that, I opened a new account, and since my new ATM/debit card arrived today, I activated it right away. When I checked my account activity online, I saw that the $420 had been refunded. ！ I was a little moved. I’m really impressed by CITIBANK’s prompt response.
To everyone who offered advice and encouragement, thank you so much.

＞ I’ve been bored lately, so I’ve been answering calls from strangers on my cell phone, but there are so many scams.

If a call comes from a number I don’t recognize, I “absolutely” never answer it.

Friends I already know ・ acquaintances, or financial institutions ・ or business contacts—are already saved in my phone. When they call, their specific names appear on the screen, so if a call comes in without that name displayed, I absolutely never press the answer button.

If the display shows only a phone number, I completely ignore it and leave it alone until the ring stops.

Since scammers make calls automatically using computers, it seems that if there’s no answer after a few attempts, the system automatically deletes the number.

Dodger Stadium gets super crowded, so it’s a shame for little kids …—they’d just get jostled around

When you mention a Wednesday day game, I assume you’re referring to tomorrow, the 17th.

I’ve never $ parked in Lots 13 and 14 of Section 5, but for night games, there’s always a long line starting two and a half hours before the parking lot gates open. I parked in the stadium’s on-site parking lot, ignoring that line. $ If you park in Lot 5, you’ll have quite a walk under the blazing sun, so I wouldn’t recommend it for families with children.

Lot 13 and 14, where parking costs $5, are likely to fill up an hour before game time on weekends, depending on the matchup and other factors.
When I went to watch a game last weekend, it was an hour and a half before kickoff, and I barely managed to find a spot.
It’s not that far from Lot 13 to the stadium, but the hill is steep, so I think it would be tough if you have kids.

If you leave the $45 standard parking lot at the end of the 8th inning, you can usually get out without much of a wait.

I’m someone who always parks in Lot 13 for $5 （—I’ll be using it about 20 times starting with the 2025 season ）. I have children aged 7, 4, and 1. I carry the 1-year-old, but the 7- and 4-year-olds usually walk to the ballpark （—though the 4-year-old sometimes rides in a stroller ）.
For weekday night games （ with bobblehead giveaways ）, I always try to arrive 20–30 minutes before the parking lot opens, and I’ve never had any trouble finding a spot. However, for particularly popular events, the parking lot opens earlier than usual and fills up quickly, so I’ve sometimes ended up having to pay the $45 parking fee.
Also, Lot 13 is often used as a staff parking lot, and when that happens, the available spaces are significantly reduced, which always makes me feel rushed.
On the way back, even if we take our time after the game ends, it’s cool and mostly downhill, so we get there quickly while chatting about the game. If we drive, there’s almost no traffic, so the trip home is smooth.

I was a private guide with both Vima Travel and Rocotavi until a few years ago. I knew for sure there would be a certain number of clients who would report to the authorities. We even got ice cream, so it was very difficult. We don't do it anymore. If you underestimate the importance of private guiding, I think you will have a bad experience.

As Japan’s population declines and remote work becomes more common, the number of moving companies catering to Japanese customers is also decreasing. Many companies no longer answer their phones. Since unlicensed, fly-by-night operators offer no insurance, it can be a bit worrisome if your belongings get lost or damaged; therefore, sticking with a major company might be the safer choice.

I went there the other day and right after I paid the park entrance fee, there was an ice cream checkpoint.
I showed them my green card. They also asked about the relationship of the passenger.
He said he doesn't have one at all times now. They also looked at my car's license plate number.
I was surprised that they were also doing checkpoints at the south entrance and exit on the I-10 side.

I did the ZO skin therapeutic course to remove spots.
You purchase the products from the medical spa in Lake Forest below and use the products after washing your face in the morning and at night for about 3 months, I think. Personally, I thought it was fine even if I didn't use ZO Skin's face wash. The 1cm sized spots on my cheeks are gone, and the spots on my temples have rebounded and appeared, but I am happy with the results because they are invisible with regular foundation instead of concealer.

Court （ If they say you don't have to go to court ） then
first you get a letter from the court and if you admit guilt, you pay this fine amount and that's it. You can pay it online
If you don't admit it, go to court and contest it
I think these are the two ways
Of course you will get points for the violation, same as in Japan, but there is a one-day course called traffic school, and if you take it and pass it, the points will disappear
If you admit the crime and pay the fine, you will get a letter from the court and pay this fine. When you pay the fine, do you want to take the traffic school ？ and if so, pay for it.　
If you don't take traffic school, the points will remain and your car insurance rate will go up
If you take traffic school, the points will disappear and your insurance rate will remain the same
There are two types of traffic school, online or by attending the nearest school from home
From my experience, it's easier to attend school

So,
file an objection
admit
take traffic school
don't take traffic school
I think there are 4 types

You can change your name to whatever you want at the Oath Ceremony when you get your citizenship.
I didn't know that, so I didn't think about it beforehand. ？ ？ When I was wondering what to do, I saw a sign that said "Juicy Burger" standing where they were selling hamburgers. I thought for a moment about changing my last name to "Juicyburger" as a joke, but in the end I didn't. It's easy to change it on the spot, but if you want to change it later, you have to apply for it at the court and get it approved, which is a hassle.

Thank you to those who replied. It seems that once I get my US citizenship, it will be relatively easy to change my name. One of the reasons I want to change my name is because I grew up a bit abused by my parents in Japan and I want to change my mood. My husband, who is American, likes my Japanese name and is not too supportive of changing it to an American-style English name, but he is a quiet person, so if I insist on changing it, I don't think he would object.

> If you are attacked with a pistol, you can't even escape with a local employee attending to you.

How many times have you been attacked with a pistol in your many years of living in LA, Showa Oyaji-san? ？ If a Japanese person is suddenly attacked with a pistol as in the LA scandal, it would be news in Japan, but such incidents only happen about once every 10 years. Most of them are caused by problematic behavior on the part of the victim, such as foreign students walking around in the middle of the night. In fact, the crime rate in LA is going down every year.

＞ How many times have you been attacked with a pistol in your many years of living in LA, Showa Father ？

Fortunately I have not had that experience, but three people I know have.
One was attacked as he was getting out of his car in a parking lot, but he escaped by giving the attacker money as he demanded. Another was shot from another car while driving. This was probably more of a prank than a robbery, but dangerous enough. Another was shot and killed as he was getting into his car with the proceeds from a store closing. He probably resisted.

There were more Japanese people running Ricker stores then than there are now, and a good number of them had a good deal of experience being held at pistolpoint in the course of their work. It was probably around this time that two Japanese students were shot in the Ralphs parking lot in San Pedro.

That's a good thing.
But "rate" is a crook. It's used in a convenient way.

If there is 1 criminal in every 100 people, that's 1%; if there are 1,000 in every 100,000, that's 1%; if there are 1,000 in every 100,000, that's 1%.
The crime rate when it was policed meticulously and the crime rate in recent times when minor crimes are overlooked.
Crime rate during a period of high violent crime and a period of increased fraud and other crimes.

Claim by immigrants that the number of foreigners living in Japan has increased but the crime rate has not.
