I heard the californian weed is also not bad! So I guess, LA tower probably goes more regional... 
Nice find!
Nice find!
Don't hesitate to let me know if I'm incorrect or just annoying! As long as you do it gently! :)

From my e@mail box :
EDDF, afternoon, prime time, BA Jumbo nicely landed and vacated runway. ATC give him complicated instructions how to taxi to the gate. Jumbo stopped on taxiway and pilot is searching airport map.
.
.
ATC : Speedbird 206, why did You stop ? Are You here first time ?
BA206 : Negative, sir, I was here 2 times, in 1944, at night, in another Boeing and I did not land...
