Tell me if this rejection letter makes any sense to you:
I liked the story, but we already have a similar piece for this year.
Feel free to shop it around elsewhere, and if we don’t contact you by the
third quarter of 2008 please resubmit it.If you have anything else you think we might like, we’d like to take a look
at it.
Does this mean they want the story, but maybe in a year?

It sounds like they might want it, but that they’re giving you the opportunity to shop it around elsewhere. I’d definitely ask beucase you’d hate to sell it somewhere else, and then have them publish it.
