 The Race is On
  It’s official. Decision 2016 has lifted off with Hilary Clinton stumping for the Democratic        nomination, and 50,000 candidates gunning for the Republican side. It could be a crowded    race. Since it’s a race, we’re thinking of entering the Breakaway Race team.  They’ll clean up  with ease!

Ooh La La!
Très bien! Breakaway has two interns from France working in the office for a few weeks. We’ve extended them a warm bienvenue, but sadly, no wine with your deliveries.

 Wily in New York
A coyote that recently moved into Battery Park City led police on a long chase before finally being corralled and given some high quality tranquilizers. If you look closely, you can see the word “ACME” on the little handcuffs and cage the police used for him.

Un-tappable Privacy
Orwell didn’t know. Even though he wrote the police state classic, “1984” he couldn’t have foreseen one thing; that people, to a certain degree, want to share about themselves. Hence, the explosion of social media. If you truly want a secure transaction, call us up to deliver your package. We promise no one will know.

 Stump the Band
  Last month we asked what unique venue hosts the “Hell of the North” Paris-Roubaix.        Answer: the event finishes in a velodrome within the city of Roubaix.
