Roger Miller is obsessed with apples. He thinks and talks about them all the time.

He grows so many kinds of apples--1,100--he has to hang little tags on his trees to keep track of their identities.

One thousand and one hundred kinds of apples! No, the Yak did not accidentally type one too many zeros!

"A lot of times in the middle of the night, my wife will wake up and wonder where I'm at," said Roger, a retired autoworker who lives in rural Eaton Rapids, near Lansing.

"I'll be out spraying apple trees with my Coleman lantern. I've had trees with 100 varieties on them."
